The beach gave up this small 18ct gold ring today.
Happy with that.

Yeah tis a bit wierd. The pic does not show it but the top plate with the holes in it seems to be a silver
coloured metal and when viewed under a glass you can see lots of marks as if someone has dug out the stones.

Curious.

Do you think it had tiny gem stones in the top?
