    Contemplating buying these rings I saw at an antique store. However, neither are marked but I believe them to be Victorian and wanted to get some input on them.

    This band is very nice and fits me perfectly. It appears to be art nouveau? maybe early 1900s? hand engraved?

    This ring is quite lovely as well and definitely appears to be Victorian, late 1800s. Opal (bad lighting) and seed pearls.

    Second one for me please! Love opals :). I dallied about buying an opal ring a short time ago and missed it and now suffering regret.
    Have they been tested for fineness?

    They have not been tested but I would bet both are 14k. They are priced at $70 for the band and $85 for the opal. I guesstimate the band has about $50 in scrap and the opal is bit heavier maybe $65.

    Two beauties. I would say the dating is the other way around. Late 19th century for the band, and the early years of the 20th for the opal and pearl ring.

    I like the band also, I agree it's Victorian, not Art Nouveau :)

    Got the band for myself at $60. It only weighs 1.2 grams! Crazy light but still very cool.
