Vintage Victorian Revival Aqua Glass Halo Cocktail Ring, Brass Statement Ring with Black Enamel Detail

Description
A large aqua stone sits at the center of this ring like a pool of still seawater, held in a scalloped crown setting and ringed with clear rhinestones. It dates to the 1940s and is made in the Victorian revival style, with a layered brass frame traced in black enamel petals and engraved scrolls. The detailing continues onto the underside of the setting and along the band, a mark of careful mid-century craftsmanship. It is bold, romantic and a natural focal point for any hand.
