#4 and #5 rings plus rope chain

[nitnelyons]

No markings on the huge cocktail ring, if that is what you call it. Hong Kong on the inside of the wedding band type ring. I believe the chain is stainless. Park hunt today. I think the 5.00+ in clad is worth more, but I know I will dig that silver, or gold ring someday. Congrats to everyone who has. I think in my area, (rural), everyone takes expensive stuff off before going outside.

Correction!!! SILVER rope chain. THANK YOU Argentium for your comment. Made me look a little closer. Now its time to clean it.

Very Nice ! soapy lather on a damp sponge for a few minutes , and it should look a lot better.

I've never seen a silver chain where the .925 was on a ring...I gotta wonder if that's got some age to it. Congrats on the chain.

As prevoiusly mentioned - I too think the chain is "vintage" from the style of the .925 mark - I think 1940's - 50's
After a closer look at the .925 mark - I'm seeing a star shape with a symbol or letter within it - get a good loupe
on this and see if you can discern these - might be able to get the makers/date .

That looks like a Russian hallmark. Is it a hammer and sickle within a star? If so, it's a domestic mark (not for export). What is the mark before the star? If you can decipher what that smaller mark is, it will help date it, especially since the frame or cartuche is 'lost' due to the shape of the bail (and is one factor in dating). Cool find!

Metro , I am so glad you mentioned the hammer and sickle - because I thought I was seeing that too , just wasn't clear enough
to call it !

 

[Metro Retro]

Excellent Argentium! Looks like you have some nice silver weight in that rope chain.

After Metro mentioned it I see the Hammer and Sickle in a Star as well, which would date it after 1958.

The Kinds of Silver | eHow.com

"Russian Silver

• The Russian measure the amount of silver by the zolotnick. One zolotnick is 4,266 g, and 96 zolotnicks equals one Russian pound. This measurement was based on the weight of a gold coin during the 11th century. To convert zolotnicks to millesimal fineness, you take the weight indicated and divide by 96. Pieces made of Russian silver are stamped "Russian silver" and with two numbers, which indicates the zolotnicks of the piece. If it was stamped between 1896 and 1908, the numbers would be paired with the left profile of a woman's face, with the woman wearing a diadem. Between 1908 an 1917, the right profile of the woman was used. The Russian Revolution marked the use of a worker's right profile and a hammer beside the numbers. In 1958, the stamp changed to a Russian hammer with a sickle inside a star followed by the worth of silver."
