Genuine marcasite stones sparkle in the prongs of this beautifully made vintage ring. These aren't the cheap faux marcasites of the 1990s; they are wonderfully cut and set in a graceful ring. Works for a wedding, sure, but also for stacking and anywhere you need a little sparkle in silver.

Inside, the band is marked 925, indicating sterling silver. The maker's mark is F. S., which I can't find easily in databases. Anyone up for a research project? The typography suggests this could have been made between the 1920s and 1940s.

In gorgeous vintage condition. The one flaw to note is a line on the inside. It looks like a seam, which may mean the ring was adjusted at some point. However, I can't find evidence of resizing, etc., on the front of the ring itself--everything looks perfect there.

Stones all the way around mean love will last forever ... Lovely for any personal style from medieval through modern.

From a nonsmoking, pet-loving home.
