Mars and Valentine Smoky Quartz Sterling Silver Ring Size 7.25, Two-Tone Brown Topaz Statement Cigar Band

Description

Step into a world of dramatic, vintage-inspired elegance with this remarkable smoky quartz statement ring. This piece is a spectacular example of modern jewelry design, drawing inspiration from the grandeur and bold ornamentation of the Victorian Revival style. The Victorian period often featured dark, dramatic gemstones, and this ring captures that spirit with a captivating, cushion-cut smoky quartz at its center. The substantial gem displays a beautiful faceted surface and a creamy-tan to light-brown hue, securely set within an oxidized silver bezel.

This jewelry is from the Mars and Valentine collection, a woman-run, family-owned business based in the heart of New York City, founded by designer Myoshin Thurman, who is the daughter of the renowned jewelry maker Margaret Thurman of Echo of the Dreamer. Mars and Valentine is celebrated for creating unique, sculptural, and bold statement pieces that often incorporate exotic and hard-to-find gemstones, vintage elements, and intricate, finely detailed sterling silver handwork, as seen in this unique ring. The ring's complex, two-tone setting features a heavily oxidized sterling silver body with intricate filigree details accented by rich, warm gold-tone brass elements. The design is a study in texture and contrast, with a shield-like face surrounded by a halo of smaller, round-cut brown topaz accents. The ring has a substantial, comfortable feel, weighing in at 11.5 grams. Its wide, cigar-style band is authenticated with the maker's mark for Mars and Valentine—the heart and letter M logo—along with the quality stamp STERLING. The unique construction features textured gold-tone wire accents framing the band, enhancing the ring’s bold silhouette. Currently sized at 7 1/4 (US), this piece is a perfect fit for anyone seeking a weighty, high-impact accessory that blends antique sensibility with contemporary flair from a respected artisan studio.
