A dramatic vintage ring, modeled in 10k yellow gold, featuring alarge,oval, nephrite jade cabochon,uponwhich a shapely, natural gold nugget is mounted. Our luminous slab of moss-green jadeis held in the ring’s crown-like, fourteen-prong head.The nugget is riveted to the jade, so that it appears to float ina green field. The ring's gallery is scalloped and carved to accentuate the prongs. The half-round shank is weighty at the shoulder and tapers toward the base. This ring has a powerful, earthy vibe— we love the contrasting textures and the fascinating, one-of-a-kind form of this natural nugget.The gold nugget is 20-22k purity. This ring measures approx 1.4”, north to south—its long oval shape is very flattering on the hand.
