Vintage OT 925 Sterling Silver Heart Ring – Blue Cabochon – Size 6.5
A charming little sterling silver ring built around a heart-shaped blue cabochon in an unusually elaborate floral/revival-style setting.
The heart is held by a serrated bezel/prong surround and framed by layered rope, bead and fan-like decorative work. The split/double-wire style shoulders give the relatively petite ring considerably more visual presence than its 3-gram weight would suggest.
The blue cabochon displays mottled lighter and darker blue coloration with pale cloudy matrix. It has the visual character of lapis/sodalite-type material, but the stone has not been gemologically tested and is therefore being sold simply as an unidentified blue stone.
The reverse is clearly stamped:

The OT mark is found on other sterling jewelry associated in the secondary market with Turkish manufacture, but because this particular ring bears no visible country-of-origin mark, we are making no definitive attribution beyond the hallmark itself.
Details
There is noticeable tarnish and oxidation, particularly beneath and behind the setting. I would leave it alone. On this design the darkened recesses are doing half the visual work, and polishing it to death would turn a nicely dimensional vintage ring into a shiny little pancake.
