Ring2813/44

A silver ring with a plain band that divides at the front to create a "V" shape on either side. The divided band on the front supports a square, red piece of glass or gem on either side, and this piece of glass (or gem) is bordered with twelve small silver balls. There is faint evidence of several incised, decorative lines that were engraved near the "v" sections of the band. An Ecuadorian five-cent coin from 1937 was added to the ring, supported by three small metal rings over the gem. The text on the coin reads: "Republica Del Ecuador 1937, 5 Centavos".

There is an oval-shaped finial in the middle with a hollow centre, and there is a piece of glass(?) on each side of the finial.

A zigzag pattern of incised lines radiates from the centre of the finial to the edge of the finial. This pattern continues across the neck and part of the way down the shaft.
