I think it’s date mark is 1975 but the rest looks like metal content + city mark. Unless I’m missing something. I think the stone up top is rock crystal.

    I love Scandinavian jewelry!
    This ring's esthetic is unusual and refreshing.
    I love the shank.

    I'd be asking about that too if I found it... right before it landed in my hoard. If it were my size at least.

    the construction of the ring is too high. this is impractical, you get stuck everywhere

    This one isn't meant to be practical; it's meant to be worn "out" and look good.

    I like how the band is designed to keep the crystal from sliding back and forth on your finger! I would have thought they would put a real diamond in it, looks to be only about the size for under a carat anyway..

    If you have the money for a 1ct diamond, you have the money for a proper ring (750 white gold or 950 platinum)

    Some of us prefer rock crystal to diamonds anyway.
