{"product_id":"antique-edwardian-gold-blue-chalcedony-ring-c-1910","title":"Antique Edwardian Gold Blue Chalcedony Ring c. 1910","description":"The color of the chalcedony in this ring is the color of twilight just before the lamps are lit, soft blue with a veil of silver mist drifting through it. There is something deeply calming about it, something elegant without trying too hard. One can imagine it worn by a woman stepping from a motorcar outside the theater in 1910, her gloves buttoned to the wrist, this glowing blue stone catching the last cool light of evening. Unlike diamonds, which announce themselves with fire, chalcedony seduces quietly. It asks the viewer to come closer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDating to about 1910, this ring is crafted in rich 15 karat gold and set with a luminous oval chalcedony measuring 16 by 12 millimeters in a closed back setting. The ring is a size 8.5 US and measures 18.3 millimeters north to south, 14.5 millimeters across, and stands 8.4 millimeters off the hand. The band measures 3.5 millimeters wide and the ring weighs a substantial 9.85 grams. Though unmarked, it has been carefully tested as 15 karat gold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a sculptural simplicity to this piece that feels remarkably modern even now. The smooth cabochon stone rises like a blue moon from its golden setting, and the heavy mounting gives it the satisfying presence of a ring meant to be worn and loved daily. It feels less like jewelry discovered in an antique box and more like something timeless that somehow slipped through the last century untouched.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer free layaway on most items purchased for full retail price, please inquire if you are interested in setting up a layaway.
