Using diamonds with turquoise isn't common. Using diamonds with opal on the other hand... maybe the ring started as an opal and diamond earring or pendant (the decorative element looks much more suited to that) , the opal got damaged and maybe one of the pair of earrings got lost, and the owner decided to rehabilitate the piece by having the opal replaced with a chunk of cheap stabilised chalk turquoise and the ornate bit welded to a plain wedding band such as can often be found cheaply at pawn shops? That would explain the unusual design too. The band even looks a slightly different colour to me.

Yes, and if it was stabilized turquoise, it would be more durable. I think most turquoise is stabilized, but there are some turquoise that doesn't necessarily need epoxy/resin,( like Cripple Creek turquoise, as it is "harder".)
It also does look like Sleeping Beauty turquoise from Globe, Arizona, and that is a soft turquoise.

Tree, I immediately thought scarab as well until I looked at it again. I thought wasp? Although there's alot of jewelry made of the Queen Bee. They said pink stones so I figured maybe coral? Although coral could be reddish I think.

The patchwork hoodie got me. I envisioned this poor woman as hippie like. I'd go vintage, but were there "hoodie" type jackets back in the day?

FWIW Betsey Johnson does alot of insect jewelry although I couldn't find anything to match.

Also does red streaks mean highlights? Some of thise highlights now are huge, big, fat streaks.

The mentioning of pink stones in the earring....from the photograph, they look to be "faceted" stones, so it couldn't be coral. Yes, coral can be reddish. Untreated red coral is expensive.If coral was in the earring, then it would be in the form of a cabochon, which is a flat back and domed top, as opposed to a "faceted" stone.
 
Looking at the earring back. Very strange to me????

Looking at ring. One top stone, five on bottom. Maybe given when 15 years old??

Yes, the earring back looks different. Maybe it has that large pad to stabilize the earring on the ear, as the earring looks quite heavy.

Kind of looks like a tie tack back.......

Do you mean the ring could be a "quinceanera" ring?
 
This earring does not look like an insect for me. More like a stylised flower or a pod. Along with a ring it gives me somehow a vibe of a cheap Central/Eastern European jewellery (the blue stone in a ring might be a cheap turquoise substitute - dyed howlite. It's called turkmenite sometimes).

true, it could be dyed howlite, and that might explain why it seems recessed in the bezel. If it were known what metal the ring shank and bezel are, and if those are diamonds, or another faceted stone, or synthetic faceted stone, then that could help make a better determination of the center stone.
If it is dyed howlite, it could fade in time. Generally, howlite has a bit of a grey matrix, even dyed, but maybe there's dyed cabs of howlite without the matrix....
 
That ring reminds me of some kind of mothers ring or protection ring or something. I have searched to no avail, but that shape is too distinct to not have some meaning. It looks somewhat like a hand of god ring also.
I do think that between that and the earring, that it points more to a foreign nationality.
Glitter nailpolish on the toes sounds like someone younger.

I've considered that. I thought the closest thing to it was an ancient lyre. But not quite close enough. And that's why I concluded that maybe it was a piece of a different type of jewellery (brooch, pendant, earring?) that had been reworked as a ring.

An artists interpretation of the Virgin Mary?
 
The ring setting reminds me of inexpensive rings I have seen in markets that have been imported from Asia. I live in New Zealand. I dont think the setting has real diamonds in it or probably genuine turquoise either in my opinion.
 
I believe the ring is a stylized depiction of the Hand of Fatima. The stone is in exactly the right place and the shape is similar. Not sure on the earring but my son said it kind of reminded him of a scorpion in a way. He also said chrysalis or pupa, which is what I'm leaning toward.

The woman's body was found with several with injuries to her face, wrapped up in several items in a grassy area just off the side of the road.

Police wouldn't say what she was wrapped in.

If she was wrapped "in several items" it would slow down decomposition, especially if it was a tarp. She might have been lying there even longer than 6-9 months as was previously guessed here.

I would think they will have more details after the autopsie and more thourough examination of the body.

There was a pink robe in the video that I posted earlier in the thread, so maybe one of those items was the robe?
 
What the heck? It went from Severely decomposed/been there for a while to early decomposition/been there for days.


Interesting.

Workers found the decomposed body of a female on May 29, 2013. Decomposition makes it difficult to determine race and age.

The woman was wearing a very distinct ring which is at link. She was also wearing one gold earring shaped like an insect of some sort. Hoodie was distinct as well resembling an old fashioned patch work quilt.

She died from blunt force trauma to her head.

Oh no. I'm so sick, Iowa is where I was born and raised, but lived in Etown KY many moons. Left my heart in Etown two years ago, most people know each other. Shaking badly here, just had to post, haven't even read the article yet and tears are running. Why? Why does this keep happening?
 
"The woman was wearing pink sweatpants with white stripes around the waist and down the outside of each leg. She had on a long-sleeved, hooded top with a complex checked pattern of navy, red and light gray in large squares. The pattern mimics an old-fashioned crude patchwork quilt with large stitches"

<edit: I'm googling missing persons reported wearing pink sweatpants, I'n on page 4 of google so far, came across Brianna Dennison's case :( )

From the area. Was under the impression that she was found near the ramp that leads to HWY 313. Is this correct? Also, that area has transformed over the years. There used to not be a road there. People would have to travel all the way to Elizabethtown to get to Radcliff/Fort Knox area so that ramp/road has made it easier for people to travel. There are not a lot of houses near there either. Small town called Colesburg and Lebanon Junction. But 313 will take you to Elizabethtown/Radcliff/Rineyville and Fort Knox. With her being so decomposed, I wonder how long it takes the body to get to the point where you can't even tell the race. If anyone can explain this to me I would appreciate it. There are no missing persons in the area that I am aware of. But with it being a major interstate she could have been dropped by a trucker. JMO.

Hi 4SAM. The area they speak of, is that over by the hotels and Ryans? Near the ramp to Louisville? I was wondering about the hoodie also, going by memory of conversations with friends up there, didn't ya'll have a long winter this year? Maybe if we knew if this was the first time this year they mowed the area could give an indication of time frame also? So sad.
