Gemstone Ring Drop #2
One-of-a-Kind Hand-Carved Ring Collection
Each ring in this collection is carved by hand from solid stone, not cast in metal or assembled from separate parts. That alone makes this work rare. Stone is far less forgiving during the making process, and every stage — carving, drilling, shaping, polishing, and setting — requires precision. One mistake can ruin the entire piece.
Some rings in this collection go even further by incorporating faceted gemstones that were also cut from rough and integrated directly into the stone. That combination of carving, gem cutting, and setting in one piece is highly uncommon because it is difficult, time-intensive, and leaves almost no room for error.
These works are not only visually distinct, but technically demanding to produce. They sit between jewelry, sculpture, and lapidary art. Mohs hardness is listed with each piece to give a general sense of material strength and wearability.
Prasiolite with Sapphire
Origin: Brazil
Size: 5
Gemstone: Light green Umba Sapphire (untreated)
Finished Total Weight: 13.75 carats
Mohs Hardness: Prasiolite 7 / Sapphire 9
Carved from solid prasiolite and set with a light green untreated Umba sapphire that was faceted from rough specifically for this piece. Integrating a faceted gemstone into hand-carved stone requires extreme precision and carries significant risk. Fresh in color and refined in form, this piece feels clean, natural, and distinct.
With quartz hardness at 7 and sapphire at 9, it offers a strong balance of beauty and durability.
Clear Quartz Ring with Amethyst Cap
Origin: Brazil
Size: 7
Finished Weight: 22.65 carats
Mohs Hardness: Quartz 7 / Amethyst 7
A clear quartz ring crowned with a natural amethyst cap showing beautiful zoning and contrast. The transparency of the quartz highlights the structure of the ring, while the purple top gives it a bold visual anchor. Clean, striking, and highly unusual in material presentation.
With both materials ranking 7 on the Mohs scale, this piece offers excellent durability and a strong, lasting feel.
Peruvian Pink Opal Ring
Size: 6.5
Finished Weight: 18.20 carats
Top Stone: Australian opal doublet
Mohs Hardness: Peruvian Opal ~5.5–6 / Opal Doublet varies
Carved from solid Peruvian pink opal, a material prized for its soft color, smooth body, and rich presence. Topped with an Australian opal doublet, this piece has a calm but striking look, with a beautiful contrast between the pastel body and the play of color above. Distinct, substantial, and highly uncommon in material.
Its dense, polished finish gives it a smooth and confident feel in hand.
Lab Emerald Ring
Size: 8
Material: Nanosital Emerald
Finished Weight: 25.45 carats
Mohs Hardness: Approximately 7
A substantial ring carved from vivid green nanosital, chosen for its saturated color, consistency, and stability. The material allows for bold geometry and a strong silhouette while maintaining a clean finish. Bright, confident, and modern in feel.
Its material strength and solid form give it impressive presence and dependable wearability.
Lab Ruby Ring
Size: 7
Material: Nanosital Ruby
Finished Weight: 22.25 carats
Top Stone: Gilson opal
Mohs Hardness: Nanosital ~7 / Opal softer
Carved from deep red nanosital ruby and topped with a Gilson opal, this ring carries strong visual weight and contrast. The rich body color gives it power, while the opal adds flash and dimension. Bold, compact, and full of presence.
Strong in structure and vivid in color, this piece was built to stand out.
Clear Quartz with Citrine Gemstone
Origin: Brazil
Size: 9.75
Gemstone: Citrine, 6 mm faceted
Finished Weight: 31.60 carats
Mohs Hardness: Quartz 7 / Citrine 7
Carved from clear quartz and set with a warm faceted citrine, this piece plays with light in a striking way. The transparency of the ring body allows light to pass through and concentrate at the gemstone, giving it a bright and luminous presence. The gem is set in silver.
With both materials at 7 on the Mohs scale, this piece offers strong durability with a clean, refined finish.
Rainbow Obsidian Ring
Size: 11
Finished Weight: 29.55 carats
Mohs Hardness: ~5–5.5
A large statement ring carved from rainbow obsidian and polished to a deep reflective finish. Under direct light, subtle spectral color appears beneath the dark surface, while at rest it reads glossy, bold, and almost black. Strong in look and scale, with a clean sculptural feel.
Bold, polished, and substantial, this piece is designed to make an immediate impression.
Blue Chalcedony
Origin: Turkey
Size: 10.5
Finished Weight: 31.55 carats
Mohs Hardness: 6.5–7
A bold architectural ring carved from a single block of blue chalcedony. The color is naturally uniform with a soft translucency that gives the surface depth without needing flash or pattern. Large in scale and confident in presence, it reads as a modern statement ring.
Its solid material and substantial size give it both strength and presence.
