METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES and/or SYMBOLISM: Mother-of-pearl shell is believed to bring prosperity and is often used to heighten intuition, psychic sensitivity and imagination. It is thought to offer soothing, love, and motherly protection from negative energy. Abalone Shells are a sacred symbol of the sea and used to channel guidance, calm emotions, help strengthen love within relationships and foster interpersonal harmony.

AGE OR ERA: Authentic true vintage piece - Guessing 1960's to 1980's

MARKINGS: Several marks on the back side of a leaf that I can't make out and also on the inside of the band I believe reads 925 MEXICO

METAL / MATERIAL: Solid 925 / 1000 sterling grade silver and genuine natural shell inlay

CLASP / CLOSURE: x

MEASUREMENTS: Measures about 7/8" wide in the front and band is about 2 mm wide

WEIGHT: 2.7 grams on my scale

TESTING: x

U.S. RING SIZE: 9.5 - I think there is a little bit of play here if you would need to make it slightly larger or smaller - given the thin band it could be squeezed in or out.

INVENTORY NUMBER OR NOTE: x

CONDITION = Great vintage condition - no damage or quirks found to mention. Natural characteristics to the shells - but no chips, unnatural cracks, etc. In an excellent state of preservation

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
