This nature inspired ring features a mossy green Nephrite Jade cabochon. I decided that lovely soft green deserved to be nestled in leaves. I stamped the leaf patterns onto silver, sawed them out and added them next to the stone. The ring band is sterling silver pattern wire, with a lovely vine and flower pattern. The edges of the band have been rounded and smoothed for comfortable wearing.
SIZE: This ring is sized US 8 1/4. The cabochon measures about 17.5x8.6mm; the top with leaves measures 19x15mm (3/4 x just under 5/8"). The band is 4.75mm (just under 1/4") wide and 1.75mm thick.
MATERIALS: Sterling silver, Fine silver, Nephrite Jade
PROPERTIES OF STONES (information compiled from various sources): Nephrite Jade is supposed to be good for emotional balance and stability. It is said to have a beneficial effect on love relationships.
