Princess or Cocktail style ring comes from a store in Thailand "James Quality Jewelers". Marked 18K as well as JJ on the inside. Consists of 8 firey opals and 17 small rubies. Bought by a military person probably in the 1960's from James Quality Jewelers in Thailand, a large shop in Bangkok that specialized in serving the U.S. Military personnel although it was open to everyone. Although "James" has died, I believe there is still a store but now at a different address. The dome part of the ring measures 1" in diameter. The ring is a size 6 1/2. The stones are all orignial to the ring. There are some imperfections in the stones noticed if looked under a loupe. One ruby appears to have a crack but can't tell for sure. One opal has a tiny pit. The stones are genuine not simulated. We have left the ring as we found it - could use a good professional cleaning.
