Crafted in the 1940s, this beautiful apple-green chrysoprase ring epitomizes Retro design. The dark 800 silver envelopes the glowing green gemstone. It‘s such a great vintage ring to add to your collection.
Many famous historical figures have coveted the beauty of chrysoprase. Frederick the Great, who was so enamored with the stone, used it to adorn most of his palace in Potsdam. Alexander the Great was rumored to wear it around his belt.
The ring is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The surface of the silver has fine lines and marks, which are typical of vintage jewelry. The gemstone‘s surface is very nice; only a few fine scratches under magnification are present. The chrysoprase is firmly set into the silver and does not wiggle. The ring can be polished upon request. The back is stamped 800 for 80% silver.
The ring is size 7.25 and can be resized. Its head measures 15/16" tall and weighs 5.25 grams. The box is for display only.
I try to portray the piece accurately in the description and images. Please note the measurements in the details section, as the pictures can often make the item appear more prominent than its actual size.
