Late Vintage Lapis Lazuli Saddle Ring
in 14k Gold
$ 700.00
* * SOLD * *



A late vintage saddle ring, modeled in 14k yellow gold, whose gem is a brilliant blue lapis lazuli cabochon. This high-dome, rectangular lapis is beautifully figured with flecks of golden pyrite that splash across its face, on the diagonal. It is set east-to-west in the ring head, where it is mounted in two long tabs that seem to hold it aloft, like a vice. This Chinese ring is a variation on the classic saddle shape— it features a unique, pierced shoulder detail, and a dramatically tapering shank that makes it very cozy in wear. Marked 14k for purity.
