Chrysoprase Ring in 8K Gold with Openwork Shoulders
Chrysoprase Ring in 8K Gold with Openwork Shoulders
An elongated green chrysoprase is held high above an openwork gold structure.
The stone is shaped as a smooth cabochon with a dense, even surface that concentrates attention on its green body colour. On either side, the ring’s shoulders open into a small geometric lattice. This gives the gold structure height while preserving visible openings beneath the front.
Chrysoprase is a nickel-bearing green variety of chalcedony, valued for its colour and calm, continuous surface. Here, it is paired with 8K gold in a vintage ring whose raised stone and openwork shoulders remain in measured balance.
