Big Pointy Green aventurine adjustable solid sterling silver ring - ooak

Description

This Marquise shaped cabochon is sparkling, bright green aventurine.
It is about 1 1/2 inches long and a little irregular in shape. I think it is much more interesting than a perfect navette shape.

I made the setting and added a wide lowdome band. It will be comfortable for pretty much any size up to about an 11.
My pictures don't really show the sparkles. It looks like spots instead.

The fact that it is long lends itself to the adjustable bypass shank.

It is signed and marked. You'll be the only one you know who has one like this. I don't actually wear the big rings but I do like this one.

Aventurine is the Star Sign for Libra and the Planetary stone of Taurus.

Aventurine is a translucent to opaque variety of microcrystalline quartz. It contains small inclusions of shiny minerals which give the stone a sparkling effect known as aventurescence. Inclusions of mica will give a silverish sheen, while inclusions of hematite give a reddish or grayish sparkle.

Aventurine is found in India, Chile, Spain, Russia, Brazil, Austria, and Tanzania. It is a 6.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. This mineral is often mistaken for amazonite or jade.

Aventurine has been used as a lucky talisman and is a popular stone for gamblers.

Legends say that it is an all-purpose healer, used to reduce stress, develop confidence, imagination and improve prosperity. A legend from ancient Tibet says that aventurine was used to improve nearsightedness and to increase the wearer's creativity.

Many believe that aventurine has the capacity to calm a troubled spirit and bring about inner peace.

I have heard it said that you should never buy a lottery ticket without an aventurine in your left pocket. :) It is a luck and money stone.
I guess you'll need to put your hand in your pocket when you buy the ticket if wearing the ring. :)

Thank you for looking at my ring.

Please convo anytime.

Most everything I make is done with reclaimed, recovered, recycled silver. I just feel silly even mentioning it. A bunch of it is from old silverware that was eaten by the disposal or maybe a lawn mower??? who knows. I buy it for the going price of silver and the gent who finds it for me gets a good deal while I am delighted that I don't have to go look for it at sales and such in the Texas heat! Everybody wins. I buy my wire from a place that refines and mills it from reclaimed silver. They also give all their shavings and scrap to third world artists who would otherwise not be able to silversmith. If I have scrap (right down to the dust from cutting or sanding silver) they will take it and refine it for these artists. Again, everybody wins. :)


This will come to you signed, gift wrapped, with a signed card.
