Crystal Quartz Cabochon Cocktail Ring Black Diamond Star Gold
Designer: J DAUPHIN
A cocktail ring in 14k gold plated brass, a large clear crystal quartz cabochon bezel set on a wide polished band, with a single black diamond star set into the shoulder. The stone is domed as a cabochon rather than faceted, so it holds a clear watery depth rather than sparkle, and each crystal quartz carries its own interior veils and inclusions, so no two show the same.
The Greeks called clear quartz krystallos, ice, and believed it was water frozen so hard it could not melt. It was ground into the first crystal balls and reading lenses and used as the seer's stone, and in crystal healing it is the stone of clarity and used to clear the mind. The star stands for guidance and hope. The black diamond stands for strength and protection.
