This size 7 1/2 ring features a vintage Hematite carved intaglio, from the midcentury era sourced right here in Wichita at Ebersole’s, a great place that Wichita silversmiths and rockhounds used to shop at. The band is made of 14kt Gold fFill round stock and the stone is set in a simple Sterling Silver setting.

Hematite is a unique gem in that it has a metallic luster and quality that attracts the eye immediately, often being mistaken for glass or metal. It is said to absorb the negative energy directed at the wearer and may eventually crack, symbolizing a defeat and victory. The Centurion or military figure carved into the stone has been an ever present motif in jewelry since time immemorial. I hope the next wearer will treasure it!
