An impressively masculine, old Afghan silver ring, with serrated teeth clutching an "ovalish" dome of warm, glittering, mid brown "Sunstone" flecked with tiny light catching "glints".

The 8 mm silver band around the finger has a bold design stamped into its surface, with embossed braces supporting the raised "wire twist" bezel.

It's a good sized ring for a more than medium finger, fitting a Size "T" (US 9 5/8) and could happily suit any gender.

I've taken the liberty of polishing the silver to bring up the contrast between the raised and recessed surfaces. But before that it had a dull "pewterish" patina of age, now it looks richer and re-awakened.

Age: Late 20th Century.

Size: Finger size "T" (US 9 5/8) Stone L 18 mm x  W 15 mm
