I RECENTLY ACQUIRED A HUGE AMOUNT OF VINTAGE SOUTHWESTERN SILVER PIECES, ACCENTED WITH TURQUOISE, CORAL, ONYX, MOTHER OF PEARL, MALACHITE AND OTHER STONES, WITHIN THE VARIOUS LOTS. VERY FEW OF THESE PIECES ARE MARKED (FOR THEIR SILVER PURITY) OR SIGNED BY THEIR ARTIST/MAKER. THAT WAS PRETTY COMMON WHEN THESE WERE MADE.

IF I CALL THESE 'STERLING SILVER' THEY ARE GUARANTEED TO BE THAT WAY. TO BE MORE ACCURATE, 'STERLING' WILL REFER TO COIN GRADE OF 90% TO 92.5% (THE STERLING STANDARD OF PURITY). IT WAS MOST COMMON TO USE THE SILVER OF US COINS TO MAKE THESE PIECES, BACK IN THE DAY.

I WILL BE LISTING 245 LOTS OF STERLING SILVER RINGS, WITH ONLY THE FIRST 3 BEING PLATED RINGS. I WILL ALSO BE LISTING 3 SQUASH BLOSSOMS ALONG WITH THESE, ALL FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES FROM THE RINGS. I WILL ALSO HAVE A FEW OTHER PIECES FROM THIS COLLECTION, INCLUDING 3 CUFF BRACELETS AND A FEW OTHER PIECES.

PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY (TO MOST) OF THESE RINGS ARE AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ROUND (AND A FEW ARE A GREAT DEAL OUT OF ROUND), AND MANY HAVE OLD PRICES (WRITTEN WITH A MARKER) ON THEIR UNDERSIDES, BOTH OF WHICH ARE PRETTY EASILY REMEDIED.

LASTLY, I'LL TRY TO POINT OUT EVERY POSSIBLE FLAW I CAN FIND, BUT MAY OVERLOOK SOMETHING (BY ACCIDENT), SO PLEASE TAKE CAREFUL LOOKS AT THE PHOTOS, AS I DID SHOW ALL THE FLAWS I COULD FIND IN THEM.

HERE IS A SMALLER SIZED LADIES RING WITH A LIGHTER GREEN TURQUOISE AND RED CORAL PAIR OF STONES ON IT. THE RING IS MOST LIKELY A "NEW OLD STOCK" PIECE, AS MOST OF THESE LITTLE ONES PROBABLY ARE (SMALLER SIZES IN THE US SIZE 5 RANGE +/-).

IT SHOWS MOSTLY LIGHTER WEAR AND SCRATCHES, PLUS THE CORAL IS SOMEWHAT 'WHITE-ISH POWDERY" ON ITS SURFACE. IT PROBABLY JUST NEEDS SOME KIND OF BUFFING, AND THE RING IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, OTHERWISE. IT'S A US SIZE 6.5 AND THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 1.60 GRAMS.

PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM. I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL. BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED. ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. THANKS!

THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. ENJOY!

SHIPPING WILL BE $5.25 INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING.

I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS. IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!

THANKS FOR LOOKING!
