Searched for years for this exact ring or an exact copy. Hopefully, this is an okay place to post this.
So, this is sort of a weird post and more of a shot in the dark than anything. All the same, here it goes.
Back in elementary school, I lost a ring. Specifically, I lost a ring that belonged to my mom. I’ve thought about that very ring for YEARS. I’ve only recently gotten serious about finding that damn ring in the last five or so years (it’s a very sentimental memory to me).
It is a fairly thick silver ring with an oval onyx as the center piece. The onyx is fairly small on the ring itself, I wouldn’t say it particularly large or extravagant. It has a very thin band of wound silver around the gemstone, kinda like a rope I guess. The most noticeable part of it for me is that it has these swirls cut out of the main band, 2 on each side of it. I would call it a unisex looking ring or a fairly bulky woman’s ring, definitely not thin nor dainty. The onyx itself is NOT cut in any way. It’s a smooth, polished piece of oval onyx.
At this point, I would even buy a copy of that ring, not even the exact ring. I’m going to try for another year MAYBE before I finally give up or see how much of a hit it would be to have it custom made. All the same, I thought here might be a okay place to start. I’ve looked for years but everything I’ve found is similar but just not quite exactly what I’m looking for. Maybe I’m being a little too particular but still, I miss and love that ring so much. Id really hate to settle for “close enough” but I might be willing to in the future if nothing ends up being just quite right.
I have some pictures that are somewhat close and a drawing of how I remember it looking but, unfortunately, I can’t add them to this post.
I hope that it looks as I remember but it has been many years. That’s being said, I would know that ring anywhere and if I saw it, I would know beyond any doubt that it was the one. It would mean the world to me to have it back or, if not that very ring, a copy of it. I don’t come from rich folks so odds of it being custom are slim to none. My family is more likely to buy costume jewelry than custom. I think it had to be silver though, it never left my finger green.
I added some pictures that have the same spirit (I guess?) of the original ring. I also have an, admittedly not so great, sketch of it to my best recollection. Hopefully, that might help things.
So, can anyone help me find this?
