Antebellum Bloodstone Pinky ring in Alleghany, Virginia

     This is a ring that was typically given at the birth of a daughter in the south in the years before the Civil War.  It is a pinky ring size 3 and is probably coin silver. They did not mark them untill years later.  The piece is perfect along with the stone itself.  Not many were even given because of expense and few survive today.  See my other ads, Historical documents, rare winchester advertizing, 50 yr.old whiskey by the case and my ebook listing collectables.  J.P.Goodwin
