Vintage glamour with an elegant mystique? Yes please!
Crafted circa 1930’s in 14 carat gold, this cat’s eye chrysoberyl ring is a rare treasure we’re so excited to bring to market!
Cat’s eye chrysoberyl is one of the most sought after stones – and it is exceedingly delicious to find one with a vivid sage-lemon hue like this one. It is both a neutral and accent color, and really captures the gaze upon first glance!
The fine construction on this ring only serves to enhance that luminescent color. Just look at the delicacy of this design. A dainty shank terminates into a basket with a stunning labyrinthine styling, creating a silhouette that feels straight out of a fairy tale!
Diamond halos were often used to accent cat’s eye chrysoberyl, and this ring is no exception. Wonderful miniature single cut diamonds are arranged around the large chrysoberyl in the center, celebrating and enhancing that captivating hue. Chrysoberyls are unique in that they exhibit a visual effect called “chatoyance”: a changeable luster with a narrow band of light.
Indeed, this ring glimmers and refracts beautifully no matter which way it is held – it is easy to get lost gazing dreamily at this beautiful stone!
Between the impeccable early 20th century craftspersonship and unique detailing, this is truly a rare and magical addition to any antique jewelry collection!
