Antique Shell Blister Ring
 
This beauty is over 100 years old and in excellent condition for it's age.  A vivid coral orange coloring to the top edge with purples, blues and pinks that shimmer in the sunlight.  The patina has been only lightly polished as it extenuates the fine detailing of the band.  There are NO cracks, chips or missing sections to the shell and the metal work is perfect.  A wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one that goes well with jeans and a t-shirt or that nice little summer dress you love!
