Thank you for taking an interest in my item among many others. If you are considering purchasing, please take the time to read my profile. Scratches, discoloration, etc. ... None This is a ring made of silver 925 with rhodium plating. The main stone is a synthetic sapphire, surrounded by cubic zirconia. The material is inexpensive, but the most distinctive feature of this ring is its design. While it may look like an ordinary design at first glance, the setting of the main stone is designed as a Claddagh ring. I am a fan of Claddagh rings and have collected several, but I rarely see ones where the setting itself is a Claddagh. I acquired this ring several years ago from a jewelry shop in the United States. The ring size is US size 6, which is approximately between Japanese sizes 11 and 12. This is for those who like Claddagh rings or are looking for one.
