Ok, Here is a different take on your ring...I don't think that it says "It's a Michael!" What it says is: "It's a Michae!!" The last 2 characters are exclamation points. That's a Yiddish term meaning something like "it feels so good" For example, if you've been outside shoveling snow for a while and are cold and miserable...you come in and stand in front of the fire...it feels so good..."its a Michea". The problem is that it is an English transliteration of a Yiddish term, thus the spelling difficulty. How about it, any chance it could be a Yiddish connection? Barry Your suggestion so patently ridiculous, it's laughable. The only possible word you could possibly be refering to is "mechaje", which means "miracle", and which is not capitalized. "michea" is not a Yiddish word, not even in your wildest imagination. Oh, BTW, Yiddish was my first language. We spoke Yiddish at home, before I could speak anything else.

Abrasha,
I don't apologize for my "ridiculous" suggestion. Maybe my translation was not perfect, but it does make sense in the situation. While Yiddish is not my first language, it was my grandparents and I did hear it as a child quite a bit. Unfortunately, unlike you, I did not pick it up, and this fact I regret. I don't know why, or understand why you would be so critical and criticize my attempt to help this post. You sound very bitter and for this I feel sorry for you. I was just trying to help, and it sounds like it may have (based on the posters response to my post). BTW, as you know, since Yiddish is not written in English, and there may be several versions of the transliteration (i.e. similar to "Chanukah" vs. "Hanukah", each of which are considered correct). Get off your "High Horse" and be tolerant of others who may be trying to help, even though you may not. Barry "Abrasha" wrote in message ...

The faceting on the stone looks like Star of David.
-Stanley "jcs" wrote in message ... Peter (and everyone else) - I have posted pictures of the ring he http://home.nyc.rr.com/citrus/michael1.jpg http://home.nyc.rr.com/citrus/michael2.jpg http://home.nyc.rr.com/citrus/michael3.jpg In answer to your questions: As you can see in the 3rd pic, "Its a Michael" seems to be machine stamped - as is a serial number below (not pictured). I now actually think it is a diamond (per a jewelry store in my neighborhood - they used what seemed like a barbaric tool to try to scratch my ring before I could protest.) Fortunately on this ring they were unsuccessful and believe it to be a diamond! Any other info is much appreciated! THANKS again - jcsjcs On Mon, 29 Sep 2003 04:39:00 GMT, Peter W.

I have seen nothing on the internet or ebay. The spelling of the name Micheal is odd, and 20K is not common. But you're description doesn't really tell us all that much. If you could get photos of it, including the markings as well as the outer designs, and post them to the web, and include the web URL in a followup newsgroup post, I'll bet we could tell you more. (remember that just attaching the photos to a newsgroup post doesn't work in this moderated group) One other question... Where it says "Its a Micheal), is that engraved or otherwise individually marked on the ring (hand or machine engraving, etc), or is it a stamped in mark? And why do you think the center stone is not a real diamond? Peter |
