i have a really old ring given to me years ago, and i was wondering what the stones are, it's white gold one big clear blue rectangle stone in the middle and one diamond like stone on each side...there are also markings on the inside of the band, a c with a crown in the middle and a diamond shape with Li inside, if you could help me out i would appreciate it thanks

Answer HI KATY,
I'M NO EXPERT IN ANTIQUE RINGS BUT YOU MENTIONED IN THE DESCRIPTION IS WAS A "WHITE GOLD" RING BUT YOU DON'T MENTION ANY GOLD QUALITY STAMP LIKE '14K'. IF IT IS NOT GOLD THEN YOU COULD ASSUME THE STONES ARE IMITATIONS. I'M SURE THE MARKINGS INSIDE ARE THE HALLMARK FOR THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND SOME IDENTIFIER MARKER. IF THEY ARE IMITATIONS THEN THEY PROBABLY ARE SYNTHETIC SPINEL. IT IS A PRETTY RING AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD TO WEAR IT. GOOD LUCK.
