Description

The listing, *Unique Topaz Ring - Adjustable Stamped GERMANY -WOW-* has ended.

This is a gorgeous ring. It has beautiful cuts on the stones It is all so adjustable--it is not a solid band so it can be made larger to fit. If you can tell band is kinda a U shape on each side with the top of the U attached to the setting the stone is in. The button of the U gets narrow and both sides meet at the back side of the ring. You can squeeze it together to touch or pull it apart to make it larger. It is a rope design (twisted) very unique. It has Germany marked. I hope someone gives it a good home, Happy Bidding!

thankyou--seems it's pot luck.

Items produced including costume jewelry made before and up through 1948 are marked: “Germany”. Those made in 1949 from West Germany were marked: “Western Zone Germany“, “American Zone Germany“, “W. Germany“, “West Germany”, “Made in West Germany”, and “Made in Western Germany”. In East Germany, items were marked: “German Democratic Republic”. To sum, jewelry pieces marked just “Germany” were almost certain to be pre-WWII unless they are newer (1990 - Present).

The German costume jewelry styles designed and manufactured in the Art Nouveau (poetic interpretation of nature 1890-1915) and Art Deco (geometric figures and symmetrical forms 1919-1930) include necklaces, bracelets, brooches/pins, earrings, pendants. medallions, and rings started in 1903. Sterling silver, silver-tone, gold-tone, rhodium, brass, chromium, filigree, and white base metals were used along with imitation stones of turquoise, amethyst, emerald, opal, ruby, topaz, lapis, and pearl (to name a few), clear and multi colored crystals, rhinestones, lampwork beads, crackle glass and art glass beads. Matching sets of pendants and medallions consisting of a necklace, earrings and bracelet with Cameos of ladies and flowers surrounded by delicate pearls and rhinestones on filigree gold-tone and silver-tone metal enameled were also designed and produced in West Germany and Germany. The European country, by hand, created exceptional examples of costume jewelry. The costume jewelry, the old style designs of Germany and West Germany, were probably produced in the 1920’s through the 1950’s, and were similar to those of Miriam Haskell, Original by Robert, Stanley Hagler and De Mario. Costume jewelry made in West Germany is becoming scarce and hard to find.

WEST GERMANY, GERMANY & EAST GERMANY: 1871 - Present

The German Empire originated in 1871 and was called Germany through 1948 (after Word War II) when in 1949, it split to West and East Germany. West Germany, the U.S. British and French Zones of Occupation became the Federal Republic of Germany with Bonn as its capital. East Germany (the Soviet zone), West Berlin (the western sectors) and East Berlin (the Eastern sector) became known as the German Democratic Republic (a socialist state) comprising the provinces of eastern Pomerania, eastern Brandenburg, Silesia, and East and West Prussia with its capital Berlin. In October 1990, East and West Germany unified again, and the country is now known as Germany.

Hi! my birthstone is this kind of topaz. it looks real! can you tell me how old the owner is (about)

Jul 29th, 2010 at 10:26:03 PM PDT by

I am not sure how old the former owner, she said her aunt gave it to her. so i really don't have an idea. the ring is old its almost an Antique. it is stamped W.Germany.

Jul 29th, 2010 at 4:47:18 PM PDT by

Yes,I figured it was Antique. It was just the stone I was concerned with. But, my guess is that the stone is probably genuine too.

Jul 29th, 2010 at 11:54:42 AM PDT by

Maybe it it's genuine or not. I just don't have idea. Well good luck if you decide on bidding. Thanks!

To shawneefirebird -The former owner said "I am not really sure. I have had that ring for as long as I can remember. My aunt gave it to me out of a cigar box she found. She also gave me a ring that I had checked and it was real garnet and diamonds. I wish I could give you more details but I just don't remember. I know it has exquisite facets to it and good weight. I don't even know the material for sure. It could be brass it could be antique gold." hope that helps! good luck!

Jul 28th, 2010 at 5:21:54 PM PDT by

It is stamped W.Germany! good luck!

Jul 28th, 2010 at 7:28:56 PM PDT by

I have a ring like this one. But the stone in mine is dark blue, and it is beautiful. I bought mine used at least 15 or 20 years ago. The band is inscribed with West Germany. I think the stone in mine is a little longer than this one. I don't know who made them, but the cuts on the stones are outstanding. I am so glad to see this one. I have searched for another one like mine or at least similar to it for years.

Jul 27th, 2010 at 7:51:03 PM PDT by

Its really is unique, glad you have one:)

Jul 27th, 2010 at 8:44:46 PM PDT by

what color is the stone it is hard to tell from the pictures? I will check and see what colors topaz comes in. thanks spirit3

Jul 27th, 2010 at 12:45:13 PM PDT by

Hi Carol, i can't tell what is the color of it, when u are not wearing it its color light brown and when you wear it its like yellow.

Jul 28th, 2010 at 11:40:13 AM PDT by

Jul 26th, 2010 at 4:34:09 PM PDT by

Is there any way you can check with former owner and ask about the stone, as to whether it is genuine or not?

Jul 26th, 2010 at 3:41:41 PM PDT by

Yes and I will get back to you as soon as I talk to her.

Jul 26th, 2010 at 4:17:27 PM PDT by

my sister said that she wants me to get this for her

Jul 26th, 2010 at 12:47:59 PM PDT by

Cool, good luck!

Jul 26th, 2010 at 1:07:45 PM PDT by

do you know for sure that the stone is a genuine topaz?

Jul 26th, 2010 at 12:47:36 PM PDT by

the owner said - "I use to wear this a lot when I was younger but I haven't worn it very much in the past 5 years or so." i am not the real owner of this ring so i have no idea if the topaz is genuine. thanks!
