VINTAGE MOTHER OF PEARL SILVER 800 RING. VINTAGE ENGLISH PIECE

VINTAGE MOTHER OF PEARL CAMEO 800 SILVER RING

This pretty, feminine piece is a throw-back to a bygone era. It features a simple oval cameo of a rather pretty woman's portrait, standing proud with three dimensional detailing, bezel set in silver 800 with twisted rope detail. 800 silver indicates that it is solid 900/1000 (80%) silver but not the purer 925/1000 (92,5%). It is quite an old piece that I acquired from a favourite vintage jeweller in England but there are no hallmarks to tell me more of its story. However, the use of 800 silver and the design suggests that it goes quite far back in history. The ring head measures 17mm long x 14mm wide, reaches 5,5mm above the finger and weighs 2,97 grams. The white part of the Mother of Pearl design (the face itself) has rather lovely iridescence that contrasts well with the interesting brownish mother of pearl that forms the background.

 Ring head: 17mm long x 14mm wide    Weight: 2,97 grams   Ring size: 6 ('M' in SA or British sizing)

Please look at the specifications carefully as the photography enlarges the jewellery!
