Imposing sterling silver modern ring is set with a large carved and faceted topaz. The simple setting really showcases the stone. There are no marks or signatures. It is a size 6 1/2 and could probably be resized. Excellent condition. The topaz rises a 1/2 inch above the finger and is roughly a triangular shape. While not readily apparent from my pictures, the stone has an inner glow depending on the light hits the various facets.
