ABOUT THIS RING

Malachite was popular with ancient civilizations in Egypt, Rome, and Greece where it was used in jewelry as well as cosmetics (eyeshadow, we hope). The nuances of design in this Mid-Century saddle-style ring make it a particularly striking piece. Lustrous, highly polished malachite--set so that its natural layers of varying shades of green are vertical to the finger--is intersected by a bright gold concave "cuff" with a horizontally brushed texture finish. Utterly original. The bottom half of the ring is substantially rendered in gleaming 18K gold. Currently ring size 5 3/4 with minimal sizing available.

About Mid-Century Jewelry

Mid-Century jewelers gave the Victorians a run for their money when it came to variety—with the added bonus of big, bold gems in every shape, size, and color. Themes of previous eras were made fabulous enough to match the optimism of the post-war world. Transitional pieces bridged the gap between the first and second half of the 20th century.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
