Such a beautiful vintage piece!! A fabulous Sterling Silver & Turquoise Ring, centred with a gorgeous oval turquoise cabochon in the most dreamy blue colour.

BUT look at those shoulders!!
Each side features gorgeous pierced filigree-style scrollwork, creating an almost lace-like silver design before tapering into the polished band. The openwork gives what could have been a simple turquoise solitaire so much more character and a wonderfully handcrafted appearance.
