Dark ground, green light.

Matte Onyx beads form the base of this ring, interrupted by faceted green crystal that catches light at every angle.

Pearl was the most valuable gem in the ancient world before diamonds dominated the trade. Julius Caesar’s invasion of Britain was motivated in part by reports of freshwater pearls found in its rivers — a detail recorded by Suetonius, who noted that Caesar kept a breastplate studded with British pearls as a trophy. At the height of the Roman Republic, a single pearl earring could be worth the equivalent of an entire estate. (Kunz, G.F., The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, J.B. Lippincott, 1913)
