£66.00 £59.40
This silver ring is host to a rare natural Rutile Quartz.
Rutilated Quartz is a variety of Quartz containing needle-like inclusions of rutile, a mineral composed primarily of titanium dioxide.
The colour of the rutile inclusions will depend on their iron oxide content. When the iron oxide in rutile quartz is high, the inclusions take on redder and often golden tones. Such inclusions can look like hay or strands of golden hair. This is why it is also known as an ‘Angels Hair Crystal’
The Rutilated Quartz in this ring has an extremely rich colour, full of gold strands with deep orange backdrop.
🔸 The Rutilated Quartz is cabochon cut. It measures 7.6mm wide by 10.2mm long & is 6.2mm deep.
🔸 The Rutilated Quartz is set with 7 natural clear Quartz on either shoulder. 14 in total. These clear Quartz just add to the shimmer & shine.
The silver ring offers a nice plain setting for the natural gemstones. The stage is quite intricate but does not take away from the gems.
🔸 The silver band is stamped 925 on the inside.
🔸 The silver band is 2.6mm wide at the rear widening to 4.3mm at the shoulders.
🔸 This ring is size N (UK/AU) Size 6.5 (US)
This ring is vintage & used. It is not all that old, & in very good condition. The silver of the ring has very few use marks. The Rutilated Quartz is in good condition – the surface of the stone is not entirely smooth. The nature of this natural gemstone is that it is full of inclusions, so this is to be expected & is not as a result of damage.
