Ruby in Fuschite Rectangle in Granulated Argentium Ring Size 8 and a Half

This stone has amazing natural coloring and patterning; bright pink spots of ruby in mottled green fuschite look like roses in lush leaves!  The 11 x 16 mm cushion rectangle was hand cut by Etsy artist Delaina of Little Valley Lapidary.

The size 8-1/2 setting is adorned with spherical silver granules of graduated size, each individually hand placed and fused.  Granulation was popular in ancient times, and adds visual interest to modern jewelry styles as well.

Before the stone was set, the ring was hand fabricated and torch fused from Argentium® sterling silver - no solder was used or required.  The band is heavy 2 x 4 comfort fit, a modified oval in cross section.

Argentium® is more expensive than regular sterling, and is highly tarnish resistant.  It is environmentally friendly, being manufactured from only recycled silver.

This ring will arrive in a silk pouch.  It will be shipped to you via US Priority Mail.
