Gorgeous, Delicately Handcrafted Vintage Sterling Silver and Cabochon Amethyst Ring with Highly detailed, Southwest Rope and Dimensional Leafy Floral Motif.
This is a vintage piece, which has been worn and enjoyed. There will be the expected surface scratches and tiny dings in the silver from normal wear. The ring is still round and true. The stone has no chips or cracks. Hand polished, but there will be areas of missed tarnish in addition to the desirable patina intentionally preserved. This is a handcrafted piece which will not be machine-perfect in any way.
A very beautiful vintage Southwest Artisan Sterling silver and amethyst ring. Etched and applied details galore, so many delightful and charming touches. Brilliant color and amazing style in this highly collectible ring.
