The listing, Antique Hand Carved Shell Cameo Silver Ring - Hallmarks on Back Size 5 1/2-6 has ended.
i have been asked many times if a certain stone in a certain piece is 'real' or rather a gemstone.
Since I am not a trained expert nor do I have a tester, I advise every winner to have your vintage/antique appraised. Listen to that voice that pushes you to do so.
You may be sitting on a gold mine.
If you have ever touched vintage jewelry you know the feel of the magic & stories living there linking you to something familiar!
Enjoy the necklace or bracelet or ring or brooch for what it is~~~a link to our collective past.

Pics do not give justice to this piece!
Ring is made of silver plated or silver and is set with a hand carved shell cameo, with nice relief. Ring is nonadjustable size 5&1/2 - 6, and there are 3 hallmarks(?) stamped into the outside bottom of band where two look like squares. There is a small surface crack next to back of the lady's hair that I can see from the back, but I don't feel it with my finger nail & the bezel part that holds shell is bent in areas, so because of this am rating ring in great
Condition: Excellent
