Prediction - Art Deco Sterling Silver Quartz Rock Crystal Solitaire Ring. This wonderful ring is crafted from sterling silver, Hallmark S and faint sterling hallmark (tested and confirmed). Featuring one natural large round cut rock crystal gem, and Art Deco styling. This exquisite ring is a classic Art Deco design, a simple expertly claw set solitaire in a basket gallery takes centre stage. The claws are double tipped for additional security, which supports the large sparkling clear gem perfectly.

This Art Deco ring is highly collectable and looks stunning when worn.
