Huge vintage sterling silver ring with an elongated oval variscite cabochon. The stone is set in a smooth bezel and framed with twisted rope with bent wire appliques at the top and bottom. Has a mid weight band with split shank. The ring is not marked but is likely Navajo made.
Condition: Very good vintage condition with very light surface wear and minimal patina. There is some visible pitting in the stone due to the natural matrix.
***All jewelry is cleaned and earrings are disinfected. Personal preferences vary greatly for the amount of patina on vintage jewelry, therefore I only lightly polish with a sunshine cloth as needed.
Size: The band size is 6.5 and the setting is 1 3/4" x 3/4"
Hallmark: none, tests as sterling silver
Era: 1970's
