A solid, weighty ring (NOT hollow!) ... 7 unique hallmarks/wax stamps around the outside (cross, lion, flower, S in shield, 925 scale, HV Ludacer stamp, face in shield), so beautiful from every angle ... this beauty weighs in at a solid 22.8 grams...3/4" ... some surface wear and patina, in researching other Vass Ludacer pieces, this appears to be original to the design, rather than due to prior wear ... no damage or repairs noted ... tested and guaranteed sterling silver ... a stunning piece for man or woman ... don't let this beauty pass you by! About the designer : Hal Ludacer opened Ludacers Jewelry Store in the 1980's and the store immediately took off and became most popular in the 1990's. After a name change and a new addition to the store, Vass-Ludacer/Fassbinder (named after a famous German movie about a jewelry heist), came back in style as often being described as "Unusual hand crafted jewelry with a bit of a rock-n-roll sensibility". Now with the store closed, these unique rings are rare and on demand.
