Product Information

Full details

This Gemondo Art Deco style ring is designed for women seeking a unique and elegant accessory that complements evening wear or adds a touch of vintage sophistication to everyday outfits. Its key benefit is the striking contrast between the deep black spinel and the sparkling marcasite, set in classic sterling silver. A caveat to consider is the delicate nature of marcasite, requiring careful handling to maintain its luster.

FAQs

What is a baguette-cut spinel?

A baguette cut is a rectangular step cut, often used for gemstones and diamonds. In this ring, it refers to the shape of the black spinel centerpiece, which is 7x5mm.

Are the black spinel and marcasite natural stones?

Yes, both the black spinel (1.20ct) and the marcasite stones (0.088ct) are natural mined stones, with the spinel originating from Thailand and the marcasite from Austria.

How should I care for the sterling silver setting?

Sterling silver can be cleaned with a soft jewelry cloth. For tarnish, use a silver polish designed for sterling silver, following the product's instructions. Store in a dry place.

Is this ring suitable for everyday wear?

While durable, the marcasite stones can be delicate. It is best suited for special occasions or light daily wear, avoiding activities where it might be bumped or exposed to harsh substances.

What is the style inspiration for this ring?

The ring is inspired by the Art Deco style, characterized by geometric shapes, bold contrasts, and a blend of dark and sparkling gemstones.

What are the dimensions of the main stone?

The main black spinel stone is baguette-cut and measures 7x5mm.

Can I wear this ring in water?

It is not recommended to wear the ring in water, especially chlorinated or salt water, as it can accelerate tarnishing of the silver and potentially damage the gemstones or their settings.

Troubleshooting

Ring loses its shine

Gently polish with a soft jewelry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a silver polishing cloth or a mild silver cleaner, ensuring to rinse and dry thoroughly afterwards. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Marcasite stones appear dull

Ensure the stones are clean. Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean around the stones. Rinse and dry carefully with a soft cloth.

Silver tarnishes quickly

This is natural for sterling silver. Store the ring in an airtight bag or box when not in use. Minimize exposure to moisture and chemicals.

Small scratches on the silver surface

Minor scratches can be buffed out with a silver polishing cloth. For deeper scratches, professional polishing may be required.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the ring with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove tarnish and restore shine. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the gemstones and the silver.
