Help with birthstone

This ring is 14k with a diamond on both sides but the jeweller couldn't  identify the stone in the middle.

I figure it is a birthstone but not sure. Can anyone tell me what it is?

My guess is citrine for November.

That would be great. My birthday is in November. I found this ring so it would be a coincident but it's about a size 9.

Most 6 are too big for me. Thanks. 

 

I do antique dolls and these boards over here are much faster. You might wait for days for an answer there.. Don't know why!

That doesn't look like citrine to me. The picture is blurry but it still has a creamy translucent look to me. And citrine is pretty clear. Now if it's clearer than what I'm seeing it certainly could be citrine.

Is there a hallmark by any chance? And could you get a clearer picture? Place in white paper then take photo!

Sorry I wasn't more help.

It might be carnelian, but it's hard to tell much with the blur. Is the stone transparent or translucent?

Its fuzzy but my first thought was carnelian as well.  Cant say without a better pic tho. Are you sure its a birthstone ring?

I wonder if this isn't a sun opal.  But a jeweler should have been able to ID a citrine or a sun opal or if it is a piece of glass.  It could b a yellow sapphire, but again I would expect a jeweler to recognize it.

I'm having trouble taking pics but maybe these are better.

The person that looked at it was from a pawn shop so that might explain a lot. You can't see thru the ring.

Also there is a stamp on both sides under neath but it looks like 14k on both sides. That seems a little odd and it's

hard for me to see.

My guesses would be sun opal, amber, glass, but not necessarily in that order.

Has that deep sourwood honey look . Looks like Topaz or Amber to me , but I would be surprised the jeweler did not recognize them . Hmmmm

P.S. Skin tone underneath changes the color . Looks different on the paper and table , so it definitely has some translucency .
