I have had this ring for fifteen years and it doesn't look brand new. However, it hasn't lost a bit of its beauty. I wore this ring for years and its held up and is as strong as the day I bought it. It's time to pass it on now to the next person who adores it as much as I do. Sterling Silver - Marks 925 I'm not sure what the semi-precious stone is in the center, but it looks like it could be citrine. Feel free to send me an offer.
