This is a rustic antique style sterling silver ring featuring a beautiful ultra rare cherry red gem grade natural rhodonite stone with 14K gold and grey clay accents. Materials: Sterling silver 925, fine silver 999, 14K gold, natural rhodonite stone, grey clay. Dimensions: Ring size: 17.8/ P 1/2 UK/7 1/2-3/4 US Ring band width: 4.2mm Thickness: 1.7mm Available ✨ Rhodonite (not to be confused with Rhodolite)! The widely spread semi-precious variety of it normally comes in dusk pink opaque colours. However, it is quite interesting that there is also a gem grade variety of it, and it is of a beautiful unique scarlet red colour! Just like in this ring. It is an impossibly rare stone and virtually unattainable. The extreme natural scarcity of fine gem quality rhodonite is exasperated by faceting difficulties (it has 2 way cleavage and low hardness of 5-6 MOHs) making it as one of the most difficult stones out there to cut. For this reason, faceted rhodonites are typically sold as collectible gems rather than for jewelry use. Surface imperfections on these gems are seen quite often and this is what can make them more or less reasonably priced. Quirky and practical at the same time. Good for an index finger too. The weight of silver and gold is below UK legal limit, the ring will come unhallmarked, will have my maker's mark on the inside. Thanks for looking🤍 Insta account @plantonik.jewels for more items 🌱
