| Tested with acid and stone to be 14k. The ring has a gorgeous victorian design on the flaps. The ring still closes, but as I tried to show in the photos the inside flap has worn thru in places. Cannot be seen when ring is closed. The wearing is probable from being opened and closed so many times, which, I am sure, has been several times since the ring is over 150 yrs old. There is a name on the inside of the band written in script. It is either A. Aacklandberg or A. Tacklandberg. This ring is a real treasure and anyone who collects victorian or edwardian would be glad to have it. |
