[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 399673, member: 2844"]Welcome Gage. I love snake rings, and so do many others, so your beauty should sell. I agree with probably Madeira citrine and aquamarine. I think your ring was made in India, given the construction of the back and the combination and types of stone used. India manufactures a lot of this attractive jewellery with lower quality gemstones. Jaipur in Rajasthan is a city famous for its stones and jewellery, and it exports much of what it manufactures, but there are others as well. There are countless manufacturers, so your chance of finding this one is slim. It is unlikely to add to the value. This ring was probably made for export, Indians usually prefer a higher fineness for their gold. In India jewellery is seen as an investment for the future, as well as an expression of beauty and identity. India is working on a national quality control system for gold, and their big manufacturers are taking fineness control very seriously.[/QUOTE]
