Silver with a dark green center stone, probably Variscite Circa 1920/30 Size 7 Face measures 3/4" by 7/8" wide Unsigned, as is common with these old pieces. Coin or higher in silver content.
Immediately upon seeing this ring you are struck by its wonderful dark green stone. It is in a rounded triangular shape, sits very high above the thick bezel, and is hand cut. These attributes serve to underscore its presence. The stone is probably Variscite, but the silversmith who created this ring about a hundred years ago no doubt thought it was Turquoise, as they are easily confused. --A comparable ring example can be found in the reference mentioned below.-- The shank is comprised of two portions of wire that are connected at the inside bottom. East and west of the triangular form has a band of three raindrops. For me, it is hard to beat such a neat ring.
Excellent condition.
