Vintage pearl ring

[kylespiral]

This a gold plated 925 sterling ring. The chip made me think faux. However it looks pearly under the chip? Real deal? Please help.

It looks like an Osmena pearl. It's made from the shell of the Nautilus, so it's not technically a pearl, but it is a mother of pearl shell. Google "Osmena pearl" for more information.

I agree...an old Osmena...quite unique!
