Indian Ring with Labarorite Stone

Gray and blue-green flashes move inside a dark, sleek gem in a rounded frame.

This sterling silver ring with labradorite stone is from India, and is contemporary. The stone is usually cut as a smooth cabochon so that the play of colour across its surface is shown to best effect inside a simple silver setting. Large, domed and rectangular with soft corners, the gem has a smoky, polished surface with a subtle blue sheen. A smooth double-step bezel surrounds it, and a thin plain band extends from the sides.

Smoky, calm, and strangely glowing from within.
