A stunning and special vintage lapis ring in yellow gold. The stone is a beauty- dark navy blue in color with dense clusters of desirable flecks of golden pyrite, it’s a very cosmic and celestial combo! I love the gold frame around the stone, it is a bright and warm contrast to the darker stone and really highlights the shiny spots of pyrite.
The lapis is a very pretty specimen, and the elongated, slightly tapered oval shape of the cabochon makes for a flattering shape on most anyone’s hand. The design of this ring is very smart and considered, which makes sense to me because it was made in Europe- either Germany or Scandinavia. The gold frame has a sleek ergonomic design that hugs your finger, so the ring won’t slide around from side to side. This thoughtful touch is an appreciated detail when wearing a longer ring with good finger coverage.
I am a huge fan of lapis and have always thought it is just the dreamiest stone. This ring is no exception, the saturated dark blue of the stone highlighted by the pyrite inclusions is a uniquely lovely combination of light and dark. If you are a fellow dark sky enthusiast who appreciates the deep beauty of the cosmos, this ring was made for you.
