Victorian Bloodstone Bezel Ring

The Story Bold and powerful, this ring is a special find featuring a smooth bloodstone tablet! Bloodstone is a variety of chalcedony (quartz) with a dark green hue and red or orangey patches. These iron oxide dots or patches are dispersed throughout the stone. While the stone holds different meanings one of the attributes assigned to bloodstone include the power to avert disaster and stimulate blood clotting after injury, making it a talisman against hemorrhages. From circa 1890, the warm 15 karat yellow gold has beautiful patina throughout the gold. Substantial in size, it's extremely well made.
