Handmade in my workshop, this ring features a high bezel set, smooth round 10mm, cabochon cut seafoam green colour chalcedony. All sterling silver with a matt finish.

Technically, chalcedony (kal SED' uh nee) is any form of microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline quartz, (meaning any form of quartz whose crystals are too small to be seen without high magnification.) The various types differ in colour due to metallic impurities, such as iron, nickel, copper, and titanium present during crystallization.

Blue Chalcedony is a demure crystal, subtle and mystic, cool and serene, ethereal yet solid. It has an inviting, soft blue translucence, and an almost imperceptible movement within the stone that invokes a stillness of silent reverence. It's calming, and speaks of spirit and trust.
Its name may be derived from the Greek port city of Chalcedon.The ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome used varieties of Chalcedony in jewelry and carvings, and, as gems of antiquity, they were believed to imbue their holders with certain powers. [Simmons, 104-105]

This ring is a Q½, circumference in (mm) 58, European size 18.
