Bloodstone and Gold Flush Ring

This handsome ring features a striking, oval shaped bloodstone cabochon, bezel set in a heavy 10 karat yellow gold setting. The central bloodstone is beautifully proportioned with a nice size and flat top surface. It is dotted with minute hematite inclusions against a dark green body color. The back of the gallery has an open side, revealing that the back of the gem has a beautiful curved shape which fits comfortably against the finger when worn. The setting is substantial and heavy: a perfect everyday ring!

Bloodstone, also known as heliotrope, is a member of the agate family, a “cousin” (if you will) of carnelian, jasper, agate, onyx and sardonyx. The “blood” in bloodstone is caused by iron oxide inclusions in the body of the gem. I have included photographs of this ring in my professional light box as well as photographed in bright (direct lighting) and natural (diffused) lighting to illustrate the differences in color variation visible in different light.
