This wonderful ring is a match to the pendant by the same artist, Karl Laine (item 485). Echoing, though not repeating the curves and spaces of the pendant, it's large but graceful on the hand. Measuring 7/8" in diameter, it's a size 7, but has some room to resize, as the shank is adjustable, which is often seen in Scandinavian jewelry. The marks are pictured and are: mark for Sten & Laine, 925 for sterling, the date mark Z7 for 1977, FINLAND and on the outside of the ring are the initials KL.
