Arts & Crafts Turquoise Ring in Silver

About the Item

This is a gorgeous Arts & Crafts movement turquoise and silver ring entirely hand-crafted -from the cabochon to the mounting- most likely by a single individual, as was often the case with jewelry from this era. The Arts & Crafts movement was a revolt against the industrial revolution and the mechanization of seemingly everything. It was a movement based on returning to a simpler, more handmade process. This particular ring features a stunning natural and untreated (unstabilized) hand-carved cabochon of turquoise. I'm unable to identify with certainty the mine from which the stone originated. Royston, Stormy Mountain, Indian Mountain, Pilot Mountain are all possibilities. The stone itself measures 23mm x 15.82 and the ring overall is 28.21mm tall, and 21mm wide. It's a size five that could be resized by your local jeweler. Interestingly, located in a very unusual place -the top edge of the shank- is text. But it's simply too worn to read. It could be a maker's mark, the word "sterling" or a combination of the two. The silversmithing is marvelous, with leaves, twirling vines, and subtle, nuanced design elements that elevate this ring above others that may be like it. I

  • Chalcedony Multi-Strand Arts & Crafts Style Bracelet, Circa 1970s
    Located in Southbury, CT
    This luminous blue and grayish-blue chalcedony bracelet was created in the Arts & Crafts style though it dates to a later era; probably the 1970s. This one-of-a-kind bracelet was completely handmade using natural highly translucent blue chalcedony gems. At 141 grams, it's a satisfyingly substantial bracelet that will not get lost on your arm. The central flower-shaped arrangement is composed of one round 21mm chalcedony cabochon surrounded by eight oval and pear-shaped stones, along with two large 20mm x 17mm pear-shaped cabochons north and south. This collection of stones are soldered together as one piece that is curved to follow the arch of your wrist. On either side of this central design element are nine chalcedony cabochons, each bezel set and joined by hand-formed links. The links terminate on both ends at a row of 5 stones: two round, three ovals. The bracelet closes securely with a box clasp and safety latch. Because the central portion of this very large bracelet is fused, it's not a sloppy piece; the gems don't spin around on your wrist and become tangled. It retains its form and only the stones on the sides that are linked by chain can move freely. It's a clever design. The bracelet measures 7 ½ in length and is 3 ¾ wide. So it should fit many but the largest wrists. The bracelet is marked 925 for the silver and has an unknown maker's mark I cannot identify. Gorgeous, unique, and featuring the most distinctive blue in the gem world, this vintage chalcedony...
