Rare and unusual William Spratling sterling crossover ring with two conical shaped amethysts. It is a size 3 3/4 and is a magnificent pinky ring. It may have been sized at one time but I do not think so. It is in beautiful condition with no chips or cracks to the stones. It is signed with the WS mark which dates c. 1949-1967 as shown in the photo. A stunning ring.
