A striking vintage statement ring from the Avon archives, this 1970s–1980s era piece features a dimensional gold tone leaf design set with brilliant peridot-colored marquise stones and rare uranium glass accents that glow under UV light. The vivid green sparkle and fluid botanical shape create a natural yet glamorous aesthetic, making this a standout collectible for both wear and display.
Signed AVON inside the band, this ring represents the higher-quality side of Avon’s mid-century jewelry production—where textured metalwork, layered design, and specialty stones were used to imitate fine jewelry silhouettes. The addition of UV-reactive uranium glass elevates this piece into the realm of cross-collectible jewelry and glass history, sought after by both vintage fashion lovers and uranium glass enthusiasts.
Sized at approximately 8.5, this ring offers an elegant, comfortable fit and makes an effortless conversation piece for everyday styling, gifting, or curating a well-formed vintage collection.

Uranium glass stones are increasingly sought-after in the vintage jewelry community due to their rarity, glow factor, and collectible crossover with antique glass. Avon pieces featuring these elements were produced in far smaller quantities than their standard lines, making this ring a valuable find for those building a curated vintage portfolio.
Collector's Note
Pieces combining uranium glass and signed designer branding are increasingly hard to source, especially in wearable ring sizes. Avon’s uranium glass rings were produced in notably smaller quantities than brooches and earrings, adding to long-term value and collector desirability. Excellent addition to a curated vintage jewelry archive.
