A large, rectangular bloodstone stands as the focal point for this subdued, Victorian ring. Pierced and engraved shoulders add decorative detail and personality. Bloodstone appears black, but in the right light, it reveals hidden red markings of iron oxide inclusions that add to the mystery and intrigue of the gemstone.

Mounted gemstones cannot be measured exactly, therefore carat weight is considered approximate unless accompanied by certification from an independent lab, such as SGL or GIA. Colored gemstones and pearls are often enhanced, unless documentation says otherwise.
