Mysterious silver findings

Hello! A friend gave me some of these silver-colored findings a few years ago. She tells me somebody gave her a bunch of those about 10 years ago, and that they were bought at Rings & Things. I realize you probably don't carry them today anymore, but I just need some info on them, such as material (base metal, sterling silver) and a name or description.

 

Thanks in advance,

Liza

Hi Liza!

Sorry to say those were not ours..... Or, at least, I don't remember ever having them since I started R&T in 1972 in Spokane.  I might have missed  one punched stamping like that but this looks like someone had a whole line of different related stampings. I think I'd remember them.

In the 80's there was a business in Texas using the Rings & THings name who did sell findings. Our mutual suppliers used to get our orders mixed up all the time!!!!  It's faintly possible your friend got them from that R&T or even some of the many other stores who've used the name over the years.

Sorry we can't be of much help!

For some reason, those findings make me think of crop circles.

Well, you are an Alien Abductee. '>
