Beautiful, Bold, Detailed, Handcrafted Vintage Southwestern Sterling Silver Blue-Green Turquoise, and Spiny Oyster Sawtooth Set Split-Side Ring.
The ring is approximately a size 6, difficult to measure precisely due to its width. The face of the ring measures approximately 1 and 5/16 inches high, by about 3/4 of an inch wide. The band narrows to just over about 1/16 of an inch, or around 2 millimeters, wide, in the back. (Included is a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) It is hand etched on the back, "20", unsigned, but acid tests as Sterling silver. Weight is approximately 5.2 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 dings in the silver from normal wear. This is a handcrafted ring, and will not be machine-perfect in any way. The band is no longer round and true, but not far off. There is no damage to the stones, other than light surface wear and natural cragginess. Hand polished, but there will still be areas of missed tarnish, especially in the crevices.
A very lovely, striking vintage handmade Southwest Sterling silver, green turquoise, and spiny oyster ring. Great color and interest in the stones, tons of large, lovely style.
