Antique Chrysoberyl Button Ring, ca 1780
Our Notes
A Portuguese Chrysoberyl Cluster Ring, ca. 1780 This exquisite 18th-century ring features a cluster of foiled faceted chrysoberyls, expertly set in silver over an embellished gold band. Pieces of this nature were highly sought after by the Portuguese aristocracy during the height of the Brazilian gem rush, when the mines of Minas Gerais yielded an unprecedented abundance of stones. While many rings from this era were statement-sized and dramatically scaled, this particular piece is crafted in a beautifully wearable proportion—making it a perfect, everyday connection to the fire of Enlightenment-era design.
Size 5.

- Remove jewelry when applying lotions, soaps and perfume
- Remove jewelry before immersing hands in cleaning solvents or liquids
- Please note that oxidation may eventually wear off of rings, then return naturally
