Vintage Oval Chrysoprase Ring

$750.00

Dating to c.1940s, this fabulous vintage apple green chrysoprase has a beautiful sheen enhanced by its cabochon cut. The gallery showcases an abstraction of a flower which gives the ring a happy vibe, and the repetition of the ‘petals’ creates a sense of balance and grounding. Chrysoprase belongs to the chalcedony family, and it was associated with Venus in ancient Rome. The ring epitomizes the post-Art Deco period of jazz, swing dancing, and great films and resonates with the spirit of this time when women had to step into the workplace to replace the men fighting the war. Their sense of fashion reflected independence and extravagance all in a stylish way. This ring is not for the bashful, and it’s a statement ring, bar none. You will not find another like it!
