Looks to me like amethyst with marcasites. As to age……will leave that up to those more familiar with jewellery. I'd say 40's or earlier.
-
thanks for your opinion ::)
-
What's with the attitude ?
-
maybe something was lost in translation...
-
Im sorry im not English :(

Agree it appears to be a dark amethyst and pyrite/marcasite. (It could possibly be a dark iolite stone...but doubt it. Would need a hands on from a jeweler if you suspect.)
Setting looks like it would be from early/mid 1900's.

Im sorry im not English :(
It's just the use of the ::) smiley, which is normally intended as an insult
I realise it's difficult on a mostly American / English forum.

So, what does :::( mean?
Honestly, I learned something new! I would have just guessed it meant 4 eyes (like me when I wear glasses!)
I just asked all my family if they knew that was in insult and none of them knew it! Wow...I could have been insulted forever and didn't know it! LOL
-
So maybe you guys can tell me the value? approximately :)

Im sorry im not English :(

well you obviously were,nt wearing your specs when you clicked on the rolling eyes....which btw...up here is,nt neccessarily classed as an insult...it all depends in what context you do it,....Avril does it with me ...after i,ve started talking the hind legs off a donkey....if you ken wit a mean... ;D

They are Lithuanian and actually good English from my view.

Nice ring! Looks like Amethyst and 1920's. Where it is antique you may be able to get $50- $100 for it . Depends on the market and what country the buyer is in. If you go into advanced search on Ebay and click sold items similar to yours you can see what they are getting in your area.

Thank you :) i will try to find them

Your monitors may look different from mine but the ring is Deco style so my opinion is late 20`s or 30`s !! Stone looks more like a garnet !! Really need to take it to a jeweler and have that mount tightened !! One prong was not right !!
-
Lightened the pics up a bit mart just to get a better look. Definitely some work needed on the prongs (one especially). I'm still getting a purplish hue but could just be how my monitor is adjusted.
-
Thanks again Sapphire !! The lightened pic does look purple !! So amethyst it is !! Very inexpensive stone but I like the deco styling !!
