Smoky Quartz Ring in 9K Yellow Gold
This striking ring is crafted in 9K yellow gold and set with a bold rectangular step-cut smoky quartz, securely held in a four-claw setting. The gemstone displays rich smoky brown tones with subtle transparency, its crisp step-cut facets lending an architectural quality to the design.
The shoulders are decorated with finely engraved motifs, adding depth and craftsmanship to the ring. This style of detailed shoulder engraving is typical of late Victorian and Edwardian jewellery, periods that celebrated ornamental metalwork and strong, sculptural forms. Smoky quartz was particularly favoured in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, valued for its earthy colour and durability.
This smoky quartz ring is full of period character. Its impressive scale and gorgeous detailing make it a distinctive statement piece and an appealing addition to a fine vintage jewellery collection.
