VTG Avon Sterling Silver (925) Light Blue Gemstone w/ Leaf Accent Ring (Size 9) Ring is preowned. The condition of the ring is USED. Other than washing in soapy water, I have not made any attempts to polish or clean the ring. See Photos. INSIDE BAND STAMPED WITH: AVON, 9, 925 and NV. Nine (9) is the U.S. size. ‘925’ is the mark indicating the ring is made of sterling silver, which is an alloy that is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. ‘NV’ may stand for Nevada Jewelry Co. or could be another brand. (See Disclaimer below). DISCLAIMER: There are many options, per the internet, for what NV stands for when stamped inside a ring. See below: + The letters "NV" on a ring typically stand for Nevada Silver or a company named Nevada Jewelry. It can also refer to the brand Nevesse, which uses "NV" for its logo, or a New Zealand-based company called Nolan and Vada, which specializes in sapphire rings. Less commonly, "NV" might indicate the Nevada Silver Mine, although there's some debate about the reliability of this interpretation. + The stamp Avon identifies the ring as an official piece from the Avon company, while NV is typically an internal manufacturing code used by Avon to denote the vendor or factory that produced the jewelry. Therefore, a ring stamped with both marks is an Avon product made by a specific vendor identified by the NV code. SEE ALL PHOTOS
