Description

The listing, Vintage Sterling Silver Artisan Moonstone Ring from India Size 9 has ended.

Vintage Moonstone Cabochon East West facing oval set in sterling silver.

Please, before even considering a bid or Get it Now, understand this is a vintage and pre-owned piece of jewelry. It is unplated with rhodium or platinum, and silver is soft. It has wear scuffs on the band and inside the band as well, but no major scratching that would otherwise compromise the appearance of this piece. Please examine the pictures closely.

Ring has been gently cleaned but no urea-based cleansers were used to preserve the patina/tarnish. The winner may try to have this piece cleaned at their discretion.

There is a small black spot within the stone near the edge of the setting, which is in a few of the pictures. The stone itself is solid and polished, but there are signs of inclusions within the stone itself, whether or not it is natural I am not sure.

A cloudy pearlescent stone streaked with white striations, this is a beautiful blue stone. As you can see on the mandrel, this sits on a 9 on a mandrel.

One owner estate piece.

Please, let me know if you have any questions!

Shipping will be USPS First Class to lower 48 contiguous United States only.

Questions & Comments

Are you saying that you don't know if the stone itself is natural? As opposed to being manmade? Also I see it is marked India but do you know what that other mark is? Is there a mark for silver? Is it Sterling or a higher grade silver? I know it's a lot of questions but you said you wanted to know if we had any. =->

It's definitely 92.5 sterling silver, and isn't attracted by a neodymium magnet. The symbol to the left is definitely a hallmark of some kind a shape with the letter "C" in the right center. Underneath that is a 925 stamp. Due to the inclusion and it being stamped from India where most moonstones are mined, I'm inclined to say it's natural since I'd be hard pressed to find lab created moonstones used as a cab in a ring with what would be considered a glaring black spot. Hope that helps a little! Thanks for asking!
