Squiggly ring

The rest of the pieces are unmarked and weigh 17.8 grams. But I know they are sterling. Especially the turquoise earrings at the top that belonged to my Mother in law. She only bought good stuff, never costume. And the artisan fish moonstone pin.

But I took the liberty to weigh the weigh with the marked stuff in one lot and the unmarked stuff in another lot.
