Antique Art Deco Sterling Turquoise Blue Faience Cabochon Ring Size 7.75

Antique or vintage art deco sterling silver turquoise colored faience cabochon ring.

Estimated to be from the 1920s, this ring was handmade and likely inspired by the Egyptian revival aesthetic so popular during this period. Egyptian faience, a non-clay ceramic made typically of sand or crushed quartz, was popular for decorative objects and scarabs in ancient Egypt, and continues to be popular in revival pieces. This ring is particularly lovely due to the simplicity of the design and its low profile.

Good condition with typical signs of age and wear. Light scratches on the faience. Dark patina that could be polished if desired. Shank is slightly out of round.
