Need help with bronze turquoise, pearl, amethyst ring

[the.secret.cellar]

I'm not sure if this is a winner or a dud. Does anyone have an idea how new or old this bronze ring is? It's from China, and all of the turquoise, pearls, and the amethyst stones are genuine. 

Thank you in advance.

It could well be bronze and appears to be gold plated.  The stones and pearls look real enough.  Amethysts are cheap so absurd to fake them. The pearls you can test with the tooth test (rub them against your teeth). China does a lot of turquoise work (lots of mines out in Western China looking for copper). I would say either BEFORE 1941 (WWII outbreak) or  AFTER 1972 when China reopened trade with the US.

Looks like one of the home shopping clubs and more recent.   When the price of silver and gold went sky high within the last decade,   a lot of the designers started using brass for a while.  That’s my guess.   Can you get a better shot of the maker’s mark?   I might be able to tell you who it’s made by.

Or just describe it to me.  Also does that say bronze?

Thank you  for the help. My jeweler looked at all of the stones and he said they are genuine.

It does say bronze. I don’t think I can get a clearer picture of the makers mark.

Bronze means recent shopping channel merch. Some time in the last 5 years is my guess.

Can you make out any of the letters,  if there are any? 

[the.secret.cellar]

Thank you all for your expertise.

It says Bronze, but the maker’s mark is in Chinese.

Oh ok,  then it’s probably from JTV or Shop LC ( or one of the liquidation channels ) vs one of the known designers on HSN or QVC.
