DescriptionWedding ring with a large disk pendant. The ring is hollow and made from thin silver sheet. The diamond-shaped bezel has an applied, circular element with a decorative border. Dangling from the center is a concave disk secured to a hoop soldered to the circular element. Repoussé "dots" decorate the perimeter of the disc. Each shoulder features the head of a satyr worked in repoussé. All edges of the ring have a faux twisted-wire border, and the middle of the shank has a stamped, zig-zag decoration.
