The gallery showcases an abstraction of a flower which gives the ring a happy vibe, & the repetition of the 'petals' creates a sense of balance & grounding. Chrysoprase belongs to the chalcedony family, & it was associated with Venus in ancient Rome. The ring epitomizes the post-Art Deco period of jazz, swing dancing, & great films & resonates with the spirit of this time when women had to step into the workplace to replace the men fighting the war. Their sense of fashion reflected independence & extravagance all in a stylish way. This ring is not for the bashful, & it's a statement ring, bar none.
