Case: Modern Ring Box

An absolutely delightful antique ring, made just at the end of the Edwardian era in 9ct gold with a delicate shade of rose. The ring is set with a single moss agate cabochon, and is an unusual yet quirky find from times past.

Moss agate is a form of chalcedony distinguished by its beautiful, moss-like inclusions that seem to grow organically within the stone. Usually translucent with green, brown or earthy patterns, no two pieces are ever the same. Long associated with growth, abundance and new beginnings, moss agate is thought to bring balance and a sense of calm, making it a meaningful choice for those who feel connected to the natural world.

The ring has a maker's mark of (what looks like) JH, and clear Chester hallmarks, all on the inner shank. The tapered band is solid and sturdy with plenty of life left, and the beautiful moss agate stone is securely bezel set on top.

A lovely little piece of history and especially suited to someone with unique jewellery tastes, or who likes collecting one-of-a-kind antiques.

Important note: the vintage ring case you can see in the photos is one of our props and is not being sold with the ring. Also, we do not offer ring resizing.

Sterling silver and 9ct yellow/rose gold all develop tarnish (the product of a chemical reaction), and this can happen quite quickly or slowly over time. Tarnish can look dark, discoloured or patchy and sometimes like a top layer of the metal is coming away - be assured it is not.

Tarnish tends to happen most quickly when the jewellery comes into contact with:

• Moisture, Perspiration & Humidity
• Chlorine / Pool / Hot Tub Chemicals
• Shampoos/Body Wash
• Sun Cream
• Perfumes, Moisturisers & Cosmetics
• Household Cleaning Products
• Insect Repellent

Light tarnish can be removed effectively from sterling silver and 9ct yellow or rose gold with a dedicated dry polishing cloth and we recommend the Town Talk brand. They have cloths for silver and gold. Please do not use these cloths on gold plated jewellery.

For advice on removing more stubborn tarnish, please reach out with photos and we can give you some product/care suggestions.
