Default Kiddiegem ring

I found this ring a couple weeks ago and started looking to see how old it may be. I can't find anything about it. Does anyone know anything about sterling Kiddiegem rings? I know its of little value and is damaged but was curious to its age. Also attch. assorted elemetary school rings. thanks Kent

Default Silver

is silver and worth something, the stone could be topaz, not quite worth as mch as a diamond lol, but a gemstone nonetheless. Nice assortment of rings. I guess I'll have to do the school yards here. HH
