Gorgeous, Delicately Crafted Vintage Sterling Silver and Fiery Opal Ring with a Curvy Filigree Openwork Detailed Band.
The ring is approximately a size 7 and 1/2. The face of the ring measures just over approximately 5/16 of an inch, or about 8 millimeters, high and projects roughly 3/16 of an inch ,or about 4.7625 millimeters, from the finger. The band narrows in the back to just over approximately 1/16 of an inch, or about 2 millimeters wide. The stone measures approximately 3/16 of an inch, or about 4.7625 millimeters, wide, by just over about 1/4 of an inch, or approximately 6.5 millimeters, high. (Included you will find a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) It is marked inside, "925", unsigned. Weight is approximately 1.65 grams, which includes the stone weight, of course.
This is a vintage piece, which has been worn and enjoyed. There will be the expected light surface scratches and possibly tiny dings in the silver from normal wear. The ring is still pretty much round, but slightly off, as you can see in the photos. The stone has no chips or cracks. Hand polished, but there will likely still be areas of missed tarnish, especially inside the filigree.
A very beautiful vintage Sterling silver and opal ring. Feminine styling, stunning color play in the stone, a very nice piece.
