#3142 Estate Find! Vintage Natural Coral 800 Silver Gold Plated, Vermeil or Wash Ring
* Please see the size images. The ring is in between a 6.75 and 7.
To me, this ring is in great preowned/vintage condition, meaning lovingly worn, well taken care of and general wear consistent with age and use. It is not new. It is marked 800 for 800 silver. It does have a gold wash/tone to it, perhaps vermeil or plating. I do not see any maker mark.
It is difficult to determine the age for this ring since there are no other markings except the 800 for silver. I received it along with some true antique pieces of jewelry from an estate. I feel safe calling it vintage as that would be over 20 years old, but I can not confirm that it is 100+years old to make it antique.
I do not clean or polish jewelry as many folks prefer to purchase vintage/preowned jewelry as found or with some patina. I do not want to ruin any pieces using any harsh chemicals, so I leave all cleaning & polishing up to the discretion of the buyer.
Please look at all of the images to form your own opinion as to the condition of the item listed as my personal opinion may differ from yours. I love old stuff and I love it to look its age.
Approximate measurements are in the images!
