Fr0114 This is an antique-style marcasite ruby gemstone925 sterling silver ring featuring a prominent, vivid crimson center stone. Design and Style FeaturesCenter Stone: A large, brilliant oval-cut gemstone, which is characteristic of a faceted synthetic ruby. The Setting: Designed in a classic Victorian or Art Deco halo layout, the gemstone is surrounded by an ornate framework of individual prongs and petaled metalwork. Accent Elements: The halo and the shoulders of the band are set with small, dark marcasite stones. These are tightly packed in a pavé style to provide a glittering, metallic shimmer rather than a clear crystal sparkle. Metalwork: The base metal has a antiqued finish, which is highly typical of 925 sterling silver jewelry that has been intentionally aged to enhance its vintage texture and structural details.
