<p>[QUOTE="JGGonzalez, post: 7628112, member: 84491"]Here's another ring I picked up. It's a Roman silver ring, I'm guessing 1st to 3rd century A.D. It has been harshly cleaned, but you can see the silver has crystalized under the surface in the areas that are scraped or nicked. The top bezel containing the stone has been broken off. I found that it fit my pinkie, so I rummaged around in my junk box and found a star sapphire that sort of fit the remaining part of the bezel. I mounted the stone by using a drop of super glue. The end result is pretty pathetic, but neat. It certainly isn't something you will find in a jewelry store at the mall.
