925 Sterling Silver Artisan Crafted Filigree Style Elongated Design Genuine Hematite / Blue Lace Agate / Ruby / Abalone Gemstones Ring

Sterling Silver Artisan Crafted Ring is 925 Sterling Silver and made in Turkey. Designers are influenced from nature and the history of this particular craft. Their workshop sits in the middle of farmland in a remote small town near Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. This workshop has been making filigree jewelry for over 20 years. Each designing artist has minimum 15 years of designing and crafting experience.

Filigree is the art of embroidery with metal thread. Many floral elements are embroidered with this technique. It is similar to embroidering lace except with metal thread. It is an art that has been developed and excelled in Southeastern Turkey in the last two millennia by Assyrian Christians.

The Story of this Particular Design

The ring is made of many pieces that are made separately first and then soldered for finish. The stone cage hosts a 8x22 mm, approximately 3 1/2 total carat weight. Color is very lively, bright, young and fashionable. It reflects the light in a deep and very rich fashion. The quality of the stone is obviously witnessed in the picture. It is believed that Hematite brings prosperity, new resources and good luck to the wearer and it is a talisman for success in any moneymaking venture.

Like most filigree we make, this Sterling Silver Artisan Crafted Elongated Ring is also lightly polished and oxidized. This brings out the luster of the silver and gives it an antique look. It is an excellent self-gift item. It works with any outfit and almost for any occasion.
