Description:
This is the “Classic Chrysoprase ring” designed and created by jeweler Art Smith. The ring's sterling silver band is a split shank design, with the split into two bands creating a large bridge fully encompassing the gemstone. The large, green, speckled cabochon of chrysoprase is smoothly polished and shaped into an oval. The chrysoprase is set vertically in a bezel setting, encased in metal overlapping the edges of the gemstone.
