Malachite talisman sterling Ring Vintage star symbols

 

For some reason not easy to fathom, malachite was considered to be talisman peculiarly appropriate for children. If a piece of this stone were attached to an infant's cradle, all evil spirits were held aloof and the child slept soundly and peacefully. In some parts of Germany, malachite shared with turquoise the repute of protecting the wearer from danger in falling, and it also gave warning of approaching disaster by breaking into several pieces. Something we could all use with these most bizarre weather disasters. This sterling ring has a star background with tiny etruscan bead work in sterling. The setting is 3/4" and the ring is a size 6. It is marked 925 on the inside and is in great condition.    Ask about our ten percent off special, it could save you a lot of money.   VintageSparkles offers Layaway on all our Etsy pieces regardless of which site it comes from.All layaway payments will need to be in the form of a check or money order only.  Please remember that vintage & antique items are not mint, nor are they perfect but they sure are full of old history and charm.
