.Vintage Italian 800 Silver Dragon-Guarded Hourglass Cuff Ring – Marked "INFUSO" / "800" by Infuso Argenti – Functional Sand Timer, 34g Fantasy Collectible Rare and captivating vintage artisan ring featuring a genuine functional hourglass (with real flowing sand!) encased in a dramatic clear glass orb, securely held by an ornate Italian 800 silver dragon motif. This is a true statement piece blending fantasy, whimsy, and fine Italian silver craftsmanship. Maker / Hallmark: Authentic oval mark "INFUSO" over "800" — attributed to Infuso Argenti, a respected Italian silversmith workshop known for high-quality 800/1000 silver candelabras, decorative objects, and jewelry (solid 80% silver, heavier patina and feel than standard 925 sterling). Vintage Italian production, likely mid-20th century artisan/boutique piece. Design highlights: Fierce, detailed coiled dragon (mythical serpent/lizard with scales, claws, and coiled tail) perched atop a circular frame, "guarding" the hourglass orb like a treasure Dragon's body and legs wrap around and grip the glass; lower claws extend onto the wide cuff band for a clutching effect Wide, open adjustable cuff-style band with intricate textured lattice/woven pattern on one side and smooth dragon extensions Hourglass feature: Fully functional miniature sand timer inside the intact, thick clear glass dome — sand flows when tilted (adds magical, interactive appeal!)
