DescriptionCluster ring with an oval, cabochon garnet. The cabochon is raised and set in a vertical silver bezel with a scalloped edge. The surrounding faceted garnets are also set in silver. The underside of the bezel is closed and in the center there is evidence of a rivet securing the cabochon mount to the bezel. The shoulders and shank are a slightly conveze, plain band. This is probably a replacement.
