So i am currently in the process of moving house. And while packing, i found my box of jewellery, given to us by my grandmother. Its mostly common stuff, like holy cross necklaces, a claddagh ring which i know the history of - but there is this piece, which i know nothing about. Supposedly given to my GM, by her mother - i should point out that, my GM had altzheimers towards the end. I should also point out that this was 30+ years ago, and i am now in my 40s - but im recounting what i remember of this.

We went down the AI Gemini Rabbit hole on this one. I dont find the ring particularly pretty, regardless of the odd colouring/tarnishing on the body. having done several little experiments (fog test, laser pointer etc) - and uploading numerous pictures to gemin - The results have been unexpected

• possibly quite an old ring - possibly late 19th century
• 'cluster' ring, with apparent 'assymetric' cut on the central stone - which the AI assures me probably rules out anything fishy
• odd number of 'accent stones'
• AI intially speculated that the metal was Silver - but after analyzing the pics - it now suspects up to 14K gold, or Rose gold - it explained that the tarnish may be that the gold was mixed with other metals including silver
• basket design - seemingly this is the open bottom part -

Iv been advised to get a professional valuation - frankly i am here because i am baffled - Iv included a few pics - sorry if detail is unclear - suffice it to say i did my best. Gemini recommended that i take the pic outside, so as to have a natural light source

Id love to know what people think - Is it possible this is actually a valuable antique piece of jewellery. It was out of place compared to the rest of the jewellery. It was for this reason that i remembered my GM saying it was her mothers- again, a stark contrast to the rest of the pieces - which are mostly religious in design, aside from her claddagh.

Love to get some opinions - even if the opinion is - this is a paper weight! Totally fine - just want to know if it is worth pursuing, so any advice and opinions are welcome - sincere thanks from ireland!
