Vintage Sterling Silver and Mother-of-Pearl Ring

This is a vintage ring crafted from sterling silver, featuring a central cabochon cut mother-of-pearl gemstone. The ring exhibits a dark, aged patina consistent with sterling silver that has not been recently polished, which enhances the intricate details of the band. The central setting cradles a round, iridescent mother-of-pearl stone, approximately 6-8mm in diameter, held securely by four prongs within a raised bezel-like frame. The stone displays a soft, creamy white color with subtle hints of opalescent sheen, typical of natural mother-of-pearl. The ring's band is a prominent feature, adorned with deeply carved or cast scrollwork and floral motifs that extend from the shoulders of the setting down the sides, tapering towards the back. The craftsmanship suggests a cast rather than hand-fabricated design, but with good attention to detail for the period. There is visible wear on the high points of the silver, indicating regular use. No specific maker's marks or hallmarks are clearly discernible from the provided images, but the style points to an early to mid-20th century aesthetic, possibly Art Nouveau or Art Deco influenced, though without clearer markings, assigning a precise period is difficult. The overall condition appears good for its age, exhibiting an attractive vintage character rather than significant damage. The band appears solid and well-formed. The ring is presented nestled in what appears to be a grey-brown velvet or felt jewelry box insert.
