Antique Chalcedony Figural Ring in Silver
About the Item
With what I believe to be a figural satyr on each shoulder, this blazingly unusual silver and green chalcedony ring is fronted with a lush buff-top and beveled-edged chalcedony gemstone. I have only seen one other ring even remotely similar to this one and it came from Hanau, Germany. The rings are similar enough —and the hallmarks equally obscure— that I suspect this ring was created in the same location. What I know for sure is that this whimsical, elaborately-detailed ring is a true stand-out. I believe it dates to the Art deco era, circa 1930.
The expressive figures on each shoulder —that I am calling satyrs— have deeply carved features. The band tapers and at the rear bears three marks I have not been able to identify.
The approximately 15.79 x 12.38 chalcedony gem has a smooth, high-polish top and a bevel that runs all the way around. Very sleek. It's bezel-set and there are small pine-crust crimps all the way around. It's a very distinctive setting and another unique feature of this ring.
Currently a size 8 ¾, this ring could be resized by your local jeweler.
Resizing is available.

Turquoise & Silver Ring American, Circa 1920s
Located in Southbury, CT
This sleek, graphic turquoise and silver ring was created near the 1920s, and is consistent in design, quality, and materials to rings created by the Zuni nation; however the ring is not signed. And therefore, it cannot be sold as "Native American."
Some people prefer to retain the "patina" almost always encountered on rings created by Native Americans. But this has always puzzled me. When Queen Elizabeth toured Africa and wore her favorite diamond crown, that crown was thoroughly cleaned and polished. I don't recall ever seeing Frank Ghery or Elsa Peretti or Paloma Picasso silver jewelry...

Chalcedony Bracelet, Arts & Crafts Style Circa 1970s
Located in Southbury, CT
This luminous blue and grayish-blue chalcedony bracelet was created in the Arts & Crafts style though it dates to a later era; probably the 1970s. This one-of-a-kind bracelet was completely handmade using natural highly translucent chalcedony gems that range in tone from faint blue to rich periwinkle. At 141 grams, it's a satisfyingly substantial bracelet that will not get lost on your arm.
The central flower-shaped arrangement is composed of one round 21mm chalcedony cabochon surrounded by eight oval and pear-shaped stones, along with two large 20mm x 17mm pear-shaped cabochons north and south. This collection of stones are soldered together as one piece that is curved to follow the arch of your wrist. On either side of this central design element are nine chalcedony cabochons, each bezel set and joined by hand-formed links. The links terminate on both ends at a row of 5 stones: two round, three ovals. The bracelet closes securely with a box clasp and safety latch. Because the central portion of this very large bracelet is fused, it's not a sloppy piece; the gems don't spin around on your wrist and become tangled. It retains its form and only the stones on the sides that are linked by chain can move freely. It's a clever design.
The bracelet measures 7 ½ in length and is 3 ¾ wide. So it should fit many but the largest wrists. The bracelet is marked 925 for the silver and has an unknown maker's mark I cannot identify.
