Magnificent silver ring from Swedish Alton in 1969 with a huge rock crystal. The ring ornament including crystal is approximately 17mm high and the crystal measures approximately 14mm in diameter. The rock crystal has a very beautiful cut, see pictures. The side piece of the frame is decorated with a pattern of eight open triangles showing the rock crystal. The ring is size 16 which is a small. Size 16 corresponds to a circumference of 50-51 mm, so if you are unsure of your ring size, you can make a test ring with a thin strip of paper and then measure its length. The ring weighs no less than 9.8 grams. An exquisite ring that represents Swedish jewelry design at its very best.
The rock crystal's energy symbolizes clarity and balance. It is said to harmonize and link our consciousness and our presence with the existential force of the universe.
Condition/maintenance
- The ring has been cleaned and polished
- Ring band and bezel are in very fine condition and have only superficial marks. The marks can be polished away but have been retained as a patina.
- The rock crystal is in excellent condition with no chips and sits perfectly in its setting. The rock crystal has a small mark/inclusion which is naturally occurring for rock crystals. See last picture.
The ring is sent as registered mail to PostNord's representative.
