Jamie Joseph Round Rose Cut Orange Chalcedony Ring

Chalcedony is a silicon dioxide mineral composed of submicroscopic Quartz grains, colored and sometimes patterned by other pigmenting minerals with a hardness of 7. Chalcedony deposits are distributed all over the Earth, especially in India, Brazil, Madagascar and Turkey. The name Chalcedony may have been derived from the Greek port city of Chalcedon. Varieties of the stone were worked into jewelry and carvings and even used in weapon and tool making by the ancient civilizations in Egypt, Greece and Rome. As gems of antiquity, they were believed to imbue their holders with various benefits. Chalcedonies are believed to promote charity, improve relationships and enhance the wearers ability to offer kindness to others.

This Orange Chalcedony ring was hand crafted in Jamie's Seattle studio from a beautiful, hand selected stone which was rose-cut and bezel set in 14k gold on a sterling silver smooth, skinny band. Currently fits a size 7 finger, but, can be resized by the designer for a fee of $50.
