Vintage Bloodstone Ring of 10k Gold

A distinctive 1940s ring, centered with an oval bloodstone set in solid 10k gold. Bloodstone, prized for its deep green body color flecked with natural red inclusions, was appreciated both for its striking appearance and its long-standing associations with strength, courage, and protection.

The clean gold setting frames the stone beautifully, allowing the bloodstone’s natural patterning to serve as the focal point while maintaining a balanced, architectural aesthetic typical of the era. The face of the ring measures approximately 0.6 inches by 0.55 inches wide and is currently a size 6.25 (resizable upon request for an additional charge).

The gold has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with traditional jeweler’s acid testing, authenticating its 10k composition. In excellent vintage condition, this ring is a refined example of 1920s Art Deco jewelry, ideal for collectors who appreciate strong materials, subtle color contrast, and timeless design.
