High Karat Gold and Red Spinel Ring, Elizabeth Locke

Spinel displays a slightly orangy red hue, dark tone, and strong saturation.

Travel experiences and a "lifelong fascination with the antique jewelry of the Etruscans, Greeks, and Romans" led Elizabeth Locke to open Elizabeth Locke Jewels in 1988. Her designs showcase her interest and artistic interpretation of the neo-classical style, and her pieces are widely collected and recognized for their hand hammered and bead detailed mounts, carved Venetian glass intaglios, colorful stones, and mosaics.

Good condition.
