I found this picking. I don’t usually gravitate to stuff like this but it was sterling and I thought it would be great to wear for Halloween :rofl: I think it’s some kinda flying bug on the sides.

Wonderful. Any hallmark? These type of rings (Memento Mori which means “remember you must die”) date back to the 1600s. A great and somewhat valuable vintage find judging from the cross inlay on what looks to be black onyx.

Cool ring. Are you sure that isn’t some type of angel? I don’t think a bug fits the theme of the ring.

I think it’s a bat, not a bug. I see little ears!
Cute!

Thanks Steve :grin: It’s just marked 925. I thought it was a poison ring until I saw the little skeleton.

Hi islandmomma, I do see wings but I can never tell what things are. At first I thought it was a peace sign :rofl:

That is such a super cool ring. I’ve never seen one that opens up like that before. I don’t know about you all, but September 1 I start decorating for Halloween :jack_o_lantern: My old house and cobb webs are in style :spider_web:

Lol that’s hilarious. That ring is in much better shape than mine. Somebody asked me if I wanted to sell it :laughing: I told them no but it’s funny the attention it gets.

I’m so glad you were able to get it back. I remember one time I was at a casino in New Jersey (20 years ago) and my wedding band fell in the toilet right after I closed the door. It was a plain 14K band that had some weight to it. It was my third band, so it wasn’t sentimental at all and I seriously considered leaving it. There was a lady that was working in the bathroom, replenishing towels and stuff like that. I asked her if she had any gloves and she said “Why?” So I showed her the toilet. She didn’t hesitate, she stuck her bare hand in the toilet and got it. Washed it off and gave it to me. I tipped her $20. She said she had just cleaned the toilets and it wasn’t a big deal but it was a huge deal to me though :smiley:
