A Silver or White Gold & Gem-set Dress Ring
eight claw-set with a large pink oval mixed-cut stone, estimated to weigh 30cts, with heart pierced gallery, shank stamped with maker's mark PA & a star motif.
The stone needs to be gem tested to be properly assessed. It is possibly a pink kunzite if mounted into white gold or a synthetic pink spinel but if the stone is in silver then it is more likely to be imitation.
Preliminary valuation based on being imitation but could be reviewed if tested as kunzite or another natural gemstone.
Please identify the other rectangular mark on the other side of inner shank
Hi,
I'm sorry, I missed your request to add information about the other maker's mark. I don't have a jewelry loop and this is the best photo I can take of it.
Thanks,
Cassandra Ryder
The best course of action is to get a verbal or written test of the semi precious or imitation gemstone as the metal can be tested in tandem.
