Circa 1890-1950 Collection of Five Silver and Multi-Stone Rings - This lot features an assortment of five vintage and antique silver rings showcasing a variety of period styles and decorative motifs. The collection includes a wide silver band designed in a Victorian-style belt buckle motif with heart-shaped perforations, bearing a partial STERLING mark on the interior. An Art Deco style ring is set with a rectangular light blue cabochon, possibly chalcedony or glass, surrounded by small rose-cut marcasites within a tiered, geometric silver frame. A foliate-themed ring features three pear-shaped iridescent stones with blue and green flash, resembling ammolite or abalone triplets, set into decorative wirework with a textured leaf. A large cocktail ring features an emerald-cut light blue faceted stone, likely synthetic spinel or blue topaz, bezel-set within an oval head featuring an open-work gallery of geometric cutouts; the band bears a shield-shaped hallmark. The final piece centers a marquise-cut dark faceted stone within a silver frame decorated with incised sunburst lines and scrollwork, marked with a stylized monogram and STERLING on the interior band. Approximate US Sizes: 4, 4.5, 6.5, 7.75, 8.25 Total weight: 0.932 ozt. The rings are in good vintage condition overall, exhibiting tarnish, patina, and light surface scratches consistent with age and wear. Gemstones show minor surface abrasions and light facet wear. Several marcasite accents on the Art Deco style ring appear dulled or are missing.
