Indian Ring

A thin gold band, and a small stone with a scalloped edge.

This gold ring comes from India. A slender round band rises to a circular bezel, stepped in two tiers, which holds an oval stone of reddish brown. The stone has a lighter, scalloped edge, like the rim of a pie crust or a shell. The gold is clean and warm, simple in form, and the bezel catches light around its raised border. Rings with inset stones are commonly worn as personal ornament and may also be kept as heirlooms.

Delicate by comparison with the others. Understated by design.
