Condition: Missing prongs (as shown) This vintage sterling silver ring showcases a vibrant salmon-colored oval cabochon set in a bold mid-century modern Brutalist design from the 1960s–1970s. The ring is marked “STERLING” on the interior band and features an abstract, high-profile architectural setting with jagged geometric cutouts and a textured, bark-like finish on the shank. Condition: The ring is in fair vintage condition. Several prongs are missing, leaving the central cabochon insecure. Silver has a light, natural patina consistent with age. The stone is intact, free of significant surface damage. Repair suggestions: We recommend having the ring inspected and repaired by a professional jeweler experienced with vintage or mid-century designs. Missing or weakened prongs can often be: Re-tipped or rebuilt to secure the stone using traditional soldering techniques compatible with sterling silver. Replaced with custom-fabricated prongs that match the original Brutalist aesthetic. Avoid DIY soldering unless you have experience, as improper repair can damage the silver or stone. Collector’s note: Brutalist rings from this era are highly collectible for their bold, sculptural design and textured finishes. While this piece requires prong repair, it retains its striking architectural character and vintage charm. Additional information: The ring has been gently cleaned to remove surface dirt; natural patina is preserved. High-resolution, close-up photography shows texture, handcrafted details, and age-appropriate characteristics. The item will arrive exactly as shown. Props in photos are not included. Lighting and magnification may affect perceived color or scale—please check measurements carefully. Free returns accepted; original shipping costs are non-refundable.
