Rich and moody, we love the red-flecked field of inky green that makes bloodstone so unique and mysterious. In this Victorian-inspired ring, the stone takes centre stage in a simple bezel setting with a plain band that pinches at the shoulders to draw the eye further in. Bloodstone, an alternate birthstone for March, has been worn for amuletic purposes (believed to have healing powers, especially for open wounds) for thousands of years across many cultures. While we can't vouch for those particular virtues, we're all in on the dramatic look.

Good vintage condition with moderate wear to gold and stone, including light file marks in back from past gold testing and evidence of resizing.
