Gorgeous 1960's Ed hotsell Levin Moonstone + Sterling Silver Cocktail Ring Signed LEVIN BENN VT . . . . Ed Levin Jewelry + More At PianoBarVintage
This is an amazing ring because it was created in the 1960's and the condition is excellent! This beautiful moonstone ring is signed inside LEVIN STER (for sterling silver) and BENN VT. This means the ring was created in his Bennington VT Studio it was a small operation back then which means its possible Levin created this ring himself! This is a collectable rare piece as the rings created in Levin's Vermont shop are hard to find and will never be recreated, in fact the existing company no longer makes rings.
He was a master craftsman and it shows, this ring is the perfect weight at 7g, not a flimsy ring, it is sturdy. The sterling silver has a beautiful texture to it which gives the metal a shimmer. The band gets wider as it slopes to the back of the finger which makes a comfortable fit, speaking of fit it is a size 5.5 and I believe it could be sized.
The moonstone is a natural stone that is round and a nice size. Because the stone is natural the stone has a few speckles of a brown color here and there.
A lovely gift for yourself or a loved one that is great quality and will last for generations.
It is important for me to let my customers know the jewelry comes from a non smoking home. The best part is you can put my jewelry right on, or give it as a gift, (unlike many vintage pieces) because....... Pieces are cleaned and polished by me in a solution of warm water and soap, and if need be I brush it with a soft toothbrush and polish it until my arm hurts! I know some people like patina and in most cases true patina stays on the piece but the jewelry is clean, free of dirt and oils that build up from wear. Finally the piece is wrapped in a new white tissue paper. (The rest of my packaging supplies may be recycled) I love to answer your questions, I am happy to take and post additional photos at your request, I check for sales or messages throughout the day hotsell. Thank You for looking, please check out my Ed Levin pieces and other jewelry in my collection. Sincerely ,Mare
