This Antique 1920's Art Deco 10k Solid Yellow Gold ring is set with a RARE Stunning 14x12mm Natural Lapis Lazuli, Mother of Pearl, Onyx & Malachite RARE Intarsia Inlay Gemstone. Intarsia inlay is made by precise fitting together of polished gemstones into a single multi gemstone unit. This GEMSTONE is a TRUE WORK of ART . The VIVID BLUE inlay is Natural Lapis Lazuli. This Lapis is of the highest quality and is not the washed out lapis that is commonly found. Lapis Lazuli was once used to manufacture blue artistic paints before 1834. Many of the worlds masterpieces we painted using lapis based blues. This high quality lapis is only found in Afghanistan and Egypt. Many ancient cultures believed that lapis enhanced self-expression. The white stripes are natural mother of pearl with beautiful shimmering iridescent luster. Mother of pearl, also called nacre, is an iridescent natural layer of material which forms the shell lining of many mollusks (oysters, abalone, etc). The green gemstone is Natural Malachite. Malachite has been carved into art and worn as jewelry for thousands of years. The corners and base are black onyx. This inlay gemstone is an Octagonal Cabochon Cut. Cabochon refers to a gemstone that has been shaped and highly polished instead of being faceted. This intarsia inlay gemstone is in PERFECT PRISTINE CONDITION free of any breaks, nicks, scratches, or chips. This Classic 1920's Art Deco 10k Solid Yellow Gold Setting has beautiful hand engraved & milgrained details on the shoulders of the setting. Milgrain details look so beautiful, appealing and interesting because the beaded pattern is able to make the area resemble the edge of a coin. A specialized jeweler's hand tool is used to create interesting texture that is said to resemble tiny beading or embroidery. The dark areas on the gold in the photos are not blemishes but shadows and reflections due to the difficulty in photographing the highly polished gold. This ring is fully hallmarked "10k" and tests as and is guaranteed to be 10k Solid Gold. (Again this ring is guaranteed to be Solid Gold not plated or layered) This ring is in EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION will arrive ready to wear.This is an Antique 1920's Art Deco Men's Ring not a copy or reproduction.
