A late 19th century Victorian ring with lapis lazuli surrounded by leaves delicately cut in silver. The top is supported by mermaids with their tails joining at the back of the ring. The original stone was cracked and we replaced it with new lapis lazuli. The ring itself dates to around c1890. Currently a size 6-3/4 but could be resized in the 5 to 7 range for $75.
