"Meat Ants" Marlborough Chrysoprase silver ring.
“This beautiful ring has been meticulously handcrafted in Australia from ecologically sustainable reclaimed and refined sterling silver (925). We never use mined metals, preferring to recycle reclaimed sterling silver and refine it to its pure state. Highly prized AAA+ Chrysoprase is becoming increasingly challenging to source as supplies dwindle. With its nickel-rich seam, Marlborough, in Queensland’s Rockhampton district, produces the World’s best colour and clarity. Having a personal love for this stunning gemstone, I have dedicated decades collecting the very finest examples for use in my jewellery” - Rita
