This older ring was handcrafted and has some initials scratched on the back (which looks like IITI). It has a heavy matrix pattern, and has cracked along some of the matrix fissures. It looks like it has been that way for awhile, however. The ring is a size 8 1/2, and though not marked, it tests positive for sterling silver. The face of the ring measures 1-3/16 x 5/8 inches. I will lightly polish it before shipping.
