Art Deco Carnelian & Silver Ring

A vintage Art Deco statement, this ring centers a bold oval carnelian in sterling silver, accented by 20 marcasites in a halo. The deep burnt-orange hues of the cabochon contrast beautifully with the cool silver and sparkle of the marcasites.The shank shows gentle wear and a rich patina that speaks to its age.
