925 is a quality stamp for sterling silver. VIG is a makers mark I am not familiar with. The stone looks really dirty. Or, is it semi-transparent, translucent. Take an old toothbrush and see if you can clean it up with a little diluted dish soap. Good luck. |

It would take about 1 minute to answer your question in my lab. It is impossible with just a picture. Is there a jeweler who is a gemologist in your area? |

That is it clean unfortunately. Those spots are inside it. And I don’t have a jeweler around me that could test it no. |

Well, so much for tracking you down, Is the stone open or backed?

I can't imagine that there is not a competent gemologist/jeweler within an hours drive. You can also mail it to someone with a lab. Seriously, I can do this ID in less than 30 seconds with my RAMAN. You will never get an answer with a picture. |

Unfortunately there’s really no one I can take it to. I wasnt really expecting a definitive answer more just an idea especially with the marks inside. The back is open. |

As Steve, 1bwana1, suggested if you send it to him or me, we can positively ID it for you. I'll do it for the cost of return shipping. |
