Bidding has ended on this item. Item:VINTAGE Modernist BEAD & COIL Sterling WRAP-AROUND RING

This wonderful piece of jewelry has come from the best Estate Collection of Modern Jewelry that I have been lucky enough to acquire. The previous owner traveled extensively. She purchased these 150 to 200 or so pieces between the 1940's and the 1980's locally and from many different parts of the world. Recently, additional items were made available by Estate. I was told that many of these now vintage pieces initially cost in the hundreds of dollars and a few even cost more. Many of the pieces are designer or artisan signed but some are not. Have not had the time to research them all. Can't identify some of the marks but many are exquisitely made, extremely beautiful, unique and truly one-of-a-kind. All are now going to be individually listed on eBAY without reserve and starting at an incredibly low opening bid. Love to combine items for shipping to help save on the cost. Thanks for looking and good luck if you decide to bid.

THE ITEM's DESCRIPTION:

This absolutely FABULOUS and exquisitely designed vintage mid 20th century circa 1950's-1960's sterling silver artisan designed and beautifully hand-crafted wrap-around turned wire & applied bead "Egyptian Coil" style modernist decorative ring is an approximate size 6 1/2 and the ring measures approximately 1" X 5/8" across the top. The ring size is slightly adjustable as the shank is open. The ring is marked "STER" but does not appear to be signed. The overall vintage condition is very good to excellent. The ring has an approximate gram weight of 4.5 grams. Sold as found with its original patina. SUPERB QUALITY!!! Far nicer than shown.
