IF YOU LIKE VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE STUFF, PLEASE CONTINUE TO COME BACK OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS, AS I AM CONSTANTLY LISTING NEW ITEMS VIRTUALLY DAILY...

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEWEST VINTAGE & ANTIQUES COLLECTIBLES STORE -- "DALLAS VALLEY DISCOVERIES", OR EBAY ID: DALLASVALLEYDISCOVERIES, FOR MORE GREAT ITEMS...

I AM CONSTANTLY ON A BUYING SPREE (MOSTLY ESTATE AND ANTIQUE AUCTIONS), SO I HAVE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF ITEMS TO LIST AS FAST AS I CAN. ALL KINDS OF SMALLS AND LARGER ANTIQUES AND VINTAGE ITEMS.

I HAVE SOME MORE GOLD AND SILVER TO LIST NOW. MOST ARE MARKED AS STERLING OR GOLD AND HAVE TESTED AS SUCH. ALSO, MOST OF THE SILVER HAS AT LEAST SOME TARNISH OR PATINA ON IT. I WILL LEAVE THE POLISHING TO THE TASTES OF THE NEW OWNER. ALL OF THESE ARE FROM NON-SMOKING SOURCES, UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.

I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE RECENTLY, CROSSING THRU THREE STATES ON A MAJOR BUYING SPREE, HAVING COME BACK WITH ALL KINDS OF FANTASTIC VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE ITEMS. THESE INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO): SOLID GOLD JEWELRY; GOLD FILLED JEWELRY AND OTHER VICTORIAN AND ART DECO GOLD FILLED ITEMS; STERLING SILVER JEWELRY (& MORE); LOTS OF ANTIQUE "SMALLS" (THINGS THAT FIT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND); AND MORE(!), SO PLEASE CHECK THEM ALL OUT AS I LIST THEM THIS WEEK.

THESE NEXT 23 LOTS ALL HAVE SOME FORM or OTHER OF LADY'S STERLING SILVER & DIAMOND JEWELRY ITEMS, INCLUDING: CROSS PENDANTS WITH NECKLACES; PENDANTS WITH NECKLACES; RINGS; AND EARRINGS. A FEW ALSO HAVE YELLOW GOLD PLATING (CALLED "VERMEIL"). MOST ARE IN EXCELLENT (or BETTER) CONDITION.

HERE IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE LADY'S STERLING SILVER & (SINGLE) DIAMOND RING, WHICH IS MARKED & SIGNED "9 CHINA, 925 R" (THE MAKER'S MARK FOR "ROSS-SIMONS"). THE RING IS INDEED A US SIZE 9. ALTHOUGH IT IS MADE OF SOLID STERLING SILVER, IT HAS ALSO BEEN RHODIUM PLATED, IN ORDER TO KEEP IT BRIGHT AND FLASHY (IN AN EFFORT TO DELAY THE SILVER GETTING A TARNISH).

RHODIUM COSTS NEARLY 1000X MORE THAN SILVER, SO IT'S NOT DONE TO CHEAPEN ANY STERLING JEWELRY THAT HAS THIS ADDED TO IT. IT'S ALSO OFTEN ADDED TO WHITE GOLD, BY THE WAY.

IN ANY CASE, THERE IS WEAR TO THIS PLATING ON THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE SHANK, BUT MOST OF THE UPPER HALF STILL HAS THE PLATING. EVEN SO, THE RING IS STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, SHOWING MINOR WEAR OVERALL. THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 4.50 GRAMS.

BY THE WAY, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SOME OF MY LISTED STERLING SILVER JEWELRY (PARTICULARILY WITH DARK PATINAS) CAN SOMETIMES LOOK LIKE IT'S YELLOW GOLD TONED (REFLECTING THE LIGHT SOURCES I HAVE IN MY OFFICE). THE SAME COULD BE SAID FOR SOME WHITE GOLD JEWELRY. I DON'T SEE THIS, BUT YOU MIGHT, SO I DID WANT TO POINT IT OUT.

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 $6 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!
