<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 309634, member: 2844&quot;]You got a bargain. An attractive, sturdy ring. The bloodstone was meant for intaglio, but some stones were left plain.</p><p>I think Holly&#039;s and Bronwen&#039;s observations are correct, there are some questions about the ring. But that&#039;s history for you, and history is one of the reasons you like old and antique jewellery.</p><p>As Holly said, until you find out more about the manufacturer there is no knowing when the original ring was made. The delicate brooches in the links are all from the beginning of the 20th century. A company that was around in 1908 may not have existed in Victorian times. They may still be making jewellery today.&nbsp; </p><p>I am not sure the shank and the bezel started out life together. The inside looks like the bezel may have been mounted in a plain wedding band. That is not unusual.</p><p>I&#039;m sure the stone is a replacement. It is also too small for the bezel, so get a jeweler to check if the glue is still in good condition, otherwise you could lose the stone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
