Simple and large, sterling silver ring by the iconic USA designer, Leonore Doskow. Rare to find one of her pieces that isn't monogrammed. Brooch features a tubular construction that curls around in the shape of a heart. It has been professionally polished and looks phenomenal. Any blacks lines or weird marks in photos are just reflections or shadows. It's quite shiny and hard to photograph.
