Size 6.5 Southwest lapis lazuli oversized sterling silver ring, vintage handmade

This is such a sweet and feminine ring - I love its personality and find it to be so charming. I love the even, deep blue of the lapis lazuli at its center, and the scalloped, floral border of ropes and curlicues around it. The stone sits on a split band shank, which helps to stabilize it while worn. There are no identifying marks on the underside of the ring, so its origins are a mystery. However, in-house nitric acid testing did confirm this piece is sterling silver.
