Art Deco jewelry is known for its clean lines, bold geometric shapes, and symmetry. You can see the geometric lines and features on the shoulders of this ring. The centre features a large rectangular Moss agate stone.
Moss agate is a gemstone with a rich history and many symbolic meanings, including
abundance and prosperity. Moss agate is believed to attract financial stability, career opportunities, and a general sense of abundance. In the 18th century, the UK called it the "good luck stone" or "stone of fortune".
Ancient Romans believed moss agates to have “divine” power. Ingredients for lotions and ointments were ground on moss agate as it was believed to have the power to improve one's disposition as well as one's eyesight.
The stone measures 12mm x 8 mm and has good transparency and features rich earth tones of browns and blacks.
The inside of the ring is marked for metal purity. It is stamped STERLING. The fact that it is written "Sterling" shows the vintage nature of the ring as this predates the wide use of 925 for sterling silver.
