Default Ring number 26!

Was checking out a soccer field that was once a playground for a local school turned office building and my first hit was a dime, second hit was this monogram ring. Sterling silver bearing the monogram "cTr" with the inscribed marking "GEM SMITH" above the sterling mark.

EDIT/UPDATE: Looked up "GEM SMITH" and "CTR Rings" and found this to be not a monogram ring, but stands for "Choose the right"... this is a ring worn by members of the Church of Latter-day Saints. The Gem Smith is a major jewelry manufacturer. This ring currently sells for about $16

I really like the design of that ring, actually... Nice find! Now you just need to change your name to match the monogram.
