Textured Vintage Onyx Pinky Ring

Dramatic both in its high-contrast execution and in its wee scale, this charming ring features a bold slab of onyx set east-west within rich gold band. Crisp textural details like braided scales decorate the shoulders, softened by the curving scallop-like edge of the bezel around the stone. Though the size evokes the history of crafting miniature jewels for new babies and young children, the style points more towards a striking pinky ring.

Good vintage condition with wear in line with age and use, including scuffs to stone.
