The ring is approximately a size 7 and 1/2. The face of the ring measures just under approximately 5/8 of an inch high, by just over about 9/16 of an inch wide, from bead to bead, and the stone projects roughly 3/16 of an inch from the finger. The band narrows to just under about 1/8 of an inch, or around 3 millimeters, wide, in the back. (Included is a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) It is stamped inside the band, "Sterling", unsigned. Weight is approximately 4.9 grams, which includes the stone weight, of course.
This is a vintage piece, which has been worn and enjoyed. There will be the expected surface scratches and possibly tiny dings in the silver from normal wear. This is a handcrafted ring, and will not be machine-perfect in any way. The heavy band is still round and true. There is no damage to the stone, other than light surface wear and natural surface imperfection. Hand polished, but there will likely still be areas of missed tarnish, especially in the crevices.
A strikingly beautiful vintage handmade Southwest Sterling silver and azure malachite ring. Fantastic color and interest in the stone, tons of bold, western style.
