Vintage Sarah Coventry Gold Tone Blue Cabochon Cocktail Ring - Size 8

This is a large, bold vintage cocktail ring featuring an ornate gold-tone setting with intricate filigree and floral repousse work surrounding a central oval light blue cabochon stone. The setting has a dome-shaped, cage-like structure beneath the stone with elaborate scrollwork and floral motifs. Small clear rhinestones are scattered throughout the setting. The band is wide with detailed engraved floral and scroll patterns continuing around the entire shank. The overall aesthetic is very grand and theatrical, typical of mid-century costume jewelry. The ring appears to open or have a locket-style mechanism based on the cage construction visible in the side views.
