The ring's sterling silver band is a split shank design, with the split into two bands creating a large bridge fully encompassing the gemstone. The large, green, speckled cabochon of chrysoprase is smoothly polished and shaped into an oval. The chrysoprase is set vertically in a bezel setting, encased in metal overlapping the edges of the gemstone. The ring has one hallmark stamped on the inside of the base, Smith’s signature [Art Smith].
