Victorian Rose in Hand Bloodstone Intaglio Ring
Sold!

The hand looks like it's about to strike, but instead of a weapon it holds a delicate rose. The red flecks that appear in front of the flower look like blood - this was most likely an intentional placement on the part of the lapidary. Bloodstone? Also a purposeful choice. Strength, sweetness, restraint, delicacy.
