Mimicking the behavior of alexandrites which change color under different light conditions, the gems are often referred to as “synthetic alexandrites” within the context of vintage Mexican silver jewelry. Yet they are in fact synthetic corundum and at best, they should be identified as “alexandrite simulants”...

An unusual 14Kt yellow gold and onyx signet ring, set with a 12 X 10 millimeter rectangular onyx. The onyx is topped by a three dimensional white gold skull and crossbones. The shank of the ring has 25 on one side and HH on the other. Probably indicating the date of 1925 and initials HH. The ring probably was worn as a pinky ring since it is a size 4 ¼, but it can easily be sized within limits.
An excellent example of the arts and crafts design period is this wonderfully crafted 14Kt yellow gold ring that dates back to circa 1910. A 10 X 8 millimeter emerald cut lab created ruby with its bright red color centers the masterfully decorated setting. The ring is a size 6 ½ and can easily be sized.
