Hey guys made a previous post about this ring but have just confirmed now it is real. Failed acid tests but tested positive on an electric tester at 9.64K gold. This was made at a very high quality, the cameo is all stone, chalcedony I think. The ring is engraved nicely, decor through out. Now as to where I found it, at a coin store, in a scrap sterling jewelry bin at $2 a gram. My guess is they tested it with acid thought it was fake and tossed it in or they didn't know at all because they had just opened and were still kind of sorting stuff out. Anyways I put a sterling junk ring on the scale and then put this ring on and quickly took out my cash and paid straight up and put them both in my pockets so fast. The ring is marked OB. 10k standing for Otbsy Barton, the brand is very very historied and collectible to a very high degree History of Ostby & Barton Jewelry Co. & the Significance of the Historical Titantic Collision ? Maejean Vintage Otsby passed away on the Titanic. Truly an amazing history behind such a beautiful ring. Kind of mad because the lady on the ring, her nose is chipped off and I really hope that didn't happen from being tossed around in a junk bin. That would be terrible. Then after I bought the ring one of the places that acid tested my ring rubbed one of the corners down and told me it was basically junk and fake. The same place offered to cut the ring in half and test it again 
Never!!! Thankfully I took it to an antique jeweler who said it wasn't bad and very minimal wear and shouldn't affect the value. Best part of all the ring fits my middle finger and I fully intend on wearing this proudly. Quite possibly one of my coolest finds, damn shame about the nose though! Just glad I could save it.
