Design & Craftsmanship: - Material: Silver - Condition: Excellent - Gender: Women - Ring Weight: 6 g - Approximate Ring Size: ⌀17 mm / EU 53 / US 6 - Gemstone: Malahite - Gemstone test: Tested Description: This ring is characterized by a malachite stone set on an elongated elliptical silver body. The stone, cut in an oval form with a smooth surface, clearly displays the characteristic concentric banding of layered green tones. The metal mount of the ring is decorated with reliefs and small spherical ornaments, while the perimeter of the stone is accentuated with dotted embossments. The body form bears similarities to amulet-like ring designs frequently encountered in the Middle Eastern and Anatolian regions. In folk beliefs, malachite is particularly known for its protective qualities against the evil eye and is also associated with health, prosperity, and balance. The decorative program, consisting of small spherical forms surrounding the central stone, creates both an aesthetic frame and a harmonious integration of the organic texture of the stone with the silver craftsmanship. Considering its material composition and symbolic attributes, this ring constitutes a noteworthy example from both a mineralogical and ethnographic perspective. This silver ring has been one of the most treasured pieces in my jewelry collection for many years. Featuring a malachite stone at its center and surrounded by fine handcrafted silver details, it stands out as truly unique. The stone’s energy, the graceful form of the ring, its antique character, and the masterful craftsmanship together made it the heart of my collection.Now, the time has come to part with this rare piece.
