Magnificent cocktail rings came into fashion in the 1930s and usually featured a single, large gemstone as the centerpiece. Aquamarines were particularly popular, but emeralds, sapphires and other colored stones can also be found in the precious designs of the time. This ring has a rather unusual setting: it features a large chrysoprase cut into a cabochon. The stone is a bright apple-green color and opaque, creating a vivid contrast to the triangular-cut onyxes. The gemstones are set in 14-karat yellow gold. The ring is beautifully preserved and perfectly illustrates the taste of the Art Deco period with its preference for the luxurious and extravagant.

This stone is the apple to mint green variety of chalcedony, whose intense color and beautiful luster are best shown to advantage as a cabochon. The stone takes its name from the Greek: χρυσός (chrysos) = "gold" and πράσον (prason) = "leek". Due to admixtures of nickel-containing kerolite, chrysoprase has a wonderful apple-green color. Chrysoprase can be found in the serpentinite veins in Silesia, among other places.
