Men's rings with large gemstones were a man's status symbol in the German post-war era. Today, the eye-catching men's ring has become rather rare, although a large number of unusual historical models have survived to this day. Rings with transparent colored stones are particularly rare in terms of numbers, as onyx and lapis lazuli are the most commonly used gemstones in men's rings. This men's ring presents a transparent, grey-brown smoky quartz in an unusual cut: the top of the gemstone is shaped as a flat table, while the underside is faceted. The cushion-shaped stone is held by a modernist setting made from 14-karat gold, which perfectly complements the color of the gemstone. The ring came to us here in Berlin and is in very good condition. An eye-catcher for men with style.

Quartz is a mineral that occurs in many color varieties. Pure quartz, which is completely transparent and colorless, is known as rock crystal. Quartz can show a violet coloration due to embedded iron ions: It is then referred to as amethyst. However, the yellow to orange-brown colored citrine, the leek-green prasiolite and the brown-grey smoky quartz (morion) are also among the most popular forms of quartz as gemstones. Nevertheless, only a few of the quartz stones mined can be used as gemstones. Due to microscopic inclusions of liquids and gases, quartz is often milky cloudy (milky quartz) and appears gray when grown into the rock.
