Hi Barker....here are the pics for the one ring that I said,

may be lead or could be Pewter! I don't think is is silver, as it didn't clean up like silver does and remained dull looking! It looks handmade and is a large ring for a man! If you know anything about it, please let me know....the 4 turquois settings are tiny! One ring looks like one of those that Mike found in his water hunting lately, but these rings were found years ago! I tried cleaning the one ring and I guess it is partially copper as it turned pinkish around the edges and in the middle it is silvery color, but I'm sure not silver! May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
hi Ma; The First ring appears to be Nickel. Not Silver, Pewter or Lead. It is most likely 1960's era.The torqoise is real. It was probably an attempt at Indiian folk art. The 2nd is brass. I've found several like that.The 3rd ring is a mix of Copper bands with a brass body.Nice intricate braiding effect on it. They were usually made for sale at flea markets, yard sales etc. They went like hot cakes and were popular in the 1960,s and 1970,s. They are still sold today.Value is about $5.00 to $8.00 each NEW. Yours are about $2.00 each. I hope this helps. PEACE:RONB
 
The first ring that I am questioning is very dull in color although it looks brighter in the picture! It has five small torquois settings and not four! Ma has to go back to school and learn to count all over again! :rofl:
I'm sure it is not nickel and looks more like lead or pewter! It is roughly hand made by someone and whoever wore it was a fairly large man or woman, but looks more like a man's band! It has been soldered together into a circle! I still think it is lead because I don't know how much Pewter can be worked for forming anything! Anyway, an unusual ring and I like it! Thanks for the prices...didn't think they would be worth anything, but might be able to sell them in a garage sale, if I ever have one again, as they are a lot of work to get ready for them, and my energy gets depleted too soon! May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
