Description

Baltic Amber Sterling Silver Ring

This stunning statement ring features a large, polished Baltic amber cabochon, showcasing a rich golden-brown hue with unique natural inclusions. The amber is set in a detailed sterling silver bezel, accented with delicate beaded edges, enhancing the overall elegance of the piece. The band is sturdy and designed to comfortably fit the finger, ensuring both style and comfort.

Condition

The ring is in good vintage condition. The amber stone and the silver setting show minimal signs of wear consistent with age. We will leave the polishing to the buyer to maintain the ring's vintage charm and patina.

Dimensions

  • Amber Cabochon: Approximately 1.5 inches (length) x 1.25 inches (width) x 1.7 inches (height)
  • Ring Size: 8.5
  • Weight: 24.46 grams

Hallmarks and Signature

  • Signed: KT
  • Hallmarks:
    • Bust hallmark
    • Bust hallmark with the number 3 (commonly known as the "Wanda" mark)

This piece likely dates back to the post-World War II period (1945-1986), during the communist era in Poland. The "Wanda" hallmark with the number 3, depicting a woman's head in profile (left-facing bust), was used to signify the silver's purity and origin. The ring has been tested and confirmed to be sterling silver.

Additional Information

Amber is a fossilized tree resin that has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times. It often contains prehistoric plant material or insects, adding to its uniqueness and value. This Baltic amber ring would make a fantastic addition to any jewelry collection, offering a touch of natural history and timeless elegance.
