This handcrafted ring tells of the sense of style of the early 2000s, when striking cabochon rings came back into fashion. The piece of jewellery plays with volume and light, its shapes are clear and sensual at the same time. The wide, full-round shank made of matt, high-carat yellow gold carries a high-set frame in which a large cabochon-cut chalcedony rests. Its delicate lilac color makes the misty-looking stone a special eye-catcher. Chalcedony has been valued as a gemstone since ancient times. Pliny the Elder mentions it in his Historia Naturalis as early as 77 AD. Back then, it was often used for cameos and signet stones, but this example shows how elegant it can also look when cut into cabochons. Its gentle transparency and the subtle play of light on its highly domed surface lend it an almost meditative calm. The ring is powerfully designed and at the same time delicately harmonious. A small, carved signature reveals its creator: a goldsmith named S. Wagner. The piece found its way to us from the Ruhr region and is in very fine condition.
