Ring, Natural Stone, Turquoise & Spiny Oyster Shell, Hallmark, Vintage, 1038

A HAPPY HEART

If you tend to fall in love with those big and bold pieces then this ring is for you. Monroe and Lillie Ashley knew what they were doing with this one. A large heart-shaped orange spiny oyster is the center of attention here. Two turquoise stones flank the heart, the contrasting colors really stand out. Sterling silver work, twist wire, and drops give it that extra umph it needs to be an extraordinary piece. You’re going to love it!
