Question:

My mother has an heirloom ring. Is there any way of telling how old it is or where it came from?

Legend has it that ring is 500 years old and has passed from generation to generation since then, coming to my mother from her father. It's gold and has the image of what looks like an angel. Our family is Palestinian. Is there anyone who would know about my mom's ring?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: ya take it to a person who studies in historical objects. at an auction house there are people who could tell you. or a museum . maybe a jeweller could tell you as well or they could refer you to a person who could. Good luck!
