GOLD RING With Too Many DIAMONDS to Count!!!

[UnderMiner]

Spotted this amazing vintage diamond ring while mudlarking the low tide today.
The ring is 5.5g of 10K gold and is encrusted with more diamonds than I can count!
I think it was lost for a very long time, maybe as far back as the prohibition-era.
There are many broken pieces of glass and ceramic jug shards in the area and the most recent coin I was able to find was a penny from 1935, all others (3 pennies) were too toasted to discern the dates.
Local people from the area inform me that during Prohibition there was a 'speakeasy-barge' that was tied to some pilings in the area where people would go to party on the water back in the day. I found old
remains of wooden pilings in the low tide mud and assumed this is where the barge must have been. I in turn found the coins, shards, and the gold ring in the area. Tide was coming in so I had to leave, but will be back as soon as I can to recover more.

That is a nice find Underminer ! I dont share your opinion concerning the age of it . I believe that it has a more modern style- 50's -70's - would be my guess , I'm no expert - just a guess ! Great find !!

Very nice find! I agree that it looks a bit more modern than prohibition area, but that definitely shouldn't curb the excitement or keep you from returning to that spot.

Congrats on an amazing and gorgeous find!!! I also agree with several others on the age of the ring being newer. During the Prohibition Era rings were not made yet with channel set, baguette diamonds. It's definitely more modern, but it is beautiful and finely crafted!
