Default Found at elementary school today.

Not sure if its Turquois or fake. Came up from 87-92 on an AT-Pro I borrowed from madcitydiggers today. Seemed pretty clean like silver but not so sure. Looks home made. NO .925 stamp on it. Thats what makes me think home made. What do you all think?

Default I bet

I bet there is a mark. Its probably hidden on the back side of the stone ,under. I found a ring exactly like that and it has a mark. I also found it at a elementary school. Looks like the real deal.If you check my albums 2011jewelry the one I found is in there. Almost Identical. Nice find congrats.

This is not a ring. This is a bracelette. The angle of the picture is odd due to flashback from the flash on the desk top. It would easily fit a child. Its about 2" wide and 1.5" deep from the bottom of the stone to the middle of the opening between the wrap around sides. Sorry, The pic does make it look small. Nope. NO Stamping on it anywhere. I've looked all over.

Default Nice Find!

I think it is real. Just ask a jeweler to test the silver. Congrats!

I'd say that it's pretty much for sure Silver. Stone looks real too. Have it checked, but I've seen that design before and it was silver.

Default Updated pic

Updated photo with ruler for size comparison. Also in this one you can clearly see the "brazing" on the ends.
