UBB.threads Forums Thread Like Summary - Another skull ring for review

Hi guys here is another ring that's part of my collection hopefully this one's better then the last
Thanks in advance

Here is an example of one still with the tag

Looks ok to me, except for the eyes. Check for casting flaws, under a jewelers loupe. The cut stones don’t look period to me. They may have been replaced at some point. Stones set in eyes during the period were usually “cabs” (cabochons)- meaning they looked like smooth spheroids rather than cut stones. This was common during the early and mid deco period (TR period) and before.

That's a nice looking ring. I am less sure about this than the last one you posted but am inclined to give it a thumbs up 👍. I have a similar ring albeit it looks less grumpy. The eyes are a different shape and obviously don‘t have the red glass adornments. However, the marks inside are the same: silver content, 835; inverted triangle; 'PA' inside a box. My ring is more heavily worn so the markings are less clear but I am pretty sure it's authentic.

Brodieb , welcome to the forum.... I have this pattern but sorry nothing for sale right now.

Yes sometimes it was a option when you ordered your ring for 'Gems' or already in at Retailers.. The eyes were either smooth or rose cut.. Simple cuts. Refer to the link on the cuts etc. and,,happy hunting!...,G.
