<p>[QUOTE=&quot;northernridge, post: 90943, member: 215&quot;]Here&#039;s a ring from the same collection I&#039;ve been going through, (most—but not all—of which is vintage costume jewelry). This was pretty black. I gave it a leisurely MAAS bath, followed by brushing. It&#039;s still dark, but I think it looks much better. The ringtop measures 1&quot; x 3/4&quot;.</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge121/c%20AQ_zpskkvcfw6f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>From the side.</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge121/c%20AQ%201_zpsbtzk0oe9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>The good thing about the gentle bath is that I became able to make out the word STERLING...</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge121/c%20AQ%202_zpsbweb1cgz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>...and the maker mark CINI (a tougher shot).</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge122/c%20AQ%204_zps6phtyhdo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>So when I looked at other Cini sterling rings, a similar one used the word &quot;repose&quot; in the title. It made me think of Repousse. Is this right? How old might this ring be? Is the style, or decoration, Art Nouveau?</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, Aquarius begins in about seven weeks. What might be the right timing for listing it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are two shots from the back. In the second one, I though something was written at the bottom, but can only make out a © mark (I think).</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge123/c%20AQ%205_zpsnre9viou.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Close-up of bottom.</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge123/c%20AQ%206_zpsietuhnhs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>As always, thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
