This ring is sculpted sterling silver in the full shape of a scallop shell, with the natural ridge lines carried right across the face. It's hollow cast rather than solid, a common technique on larger Taxco pieces that keeps a statement size like this actually wearable instead of a wrist or finger weight. The underside is stamped MEXICO and 925, confirming both origin and sterling content.
This is exactly the kind of piece we file under mermaid life, made for anyone who wants a little bit of the ocean on their hand rather than just around their neck.
Condition: Excellent. No scratches or dents. A polishing cloth will bring the shine back up.
