The Story:
Superbly made and as bold as they come, this oversized statement ring harnesses the linearity of strong geometries and the contrasting earthiness of Mother Nature’s gemstones. This ring features an inlaid mosaic: a rich cobalt, horizontally-oriented hexagonal lapis lazuli tablet is flanked on top and bottom by two creamy triangular tablet agates, the blues and whites separated with twin rows of diamonds prong-set within white gold. While lapis is much beloved for its chromatic opacity and subtle gold speckling, creamy agate boasts just a kiss of translucency that allows light to enter and cast an inner glow, and diamonds offset the aesthetic with twinkling rainbows of color.
The lapis, agate and diamonds are all mounted within a kite-shaped bezel that gives way to etched crosshatched shoulders, an iconic texture from the 1960s and 1970s known in the industry as a Florentine finish. This intricate effect causes light to appear diffused as it reflects off of the gold. The bottom half of the shank is not textured, so as to allow for easy sizing should the next wearer need the ring resized. This ring is wonderfully heavy, heralding the ‘chunky ring’ effect that is so en vogue. It is very sizable on the finger at over 1 ¼ inches that spans knuckle to knuckle and is visually prominent on the hand. Yet, its rise from the finger is a modest 3/16 of an inch which is assuredly practical and comfortable. In effect, this ring packs a huge punch but is no less sensible to don.
No doubt a power piece, this ring is one that flatters any outfit and inspirits one’s look with proud personality. As is true with all jewelry, the stones and shapes are symbolic: lapis lazuli is known as a promoter of wisdom and communication, an enhancer of creativity and confidence and an eliminator of ill will. In suit, white agate inspires and organizes thoughts, grounding the wearer in positivity and emotional peace. Diamonds are fancied for their strength and clarity achieved through their formation over billions of years. In sum, the three kinds of gems showcased in this jewel tell a story of fortitude, enlightenment, introspection and vision. Interestingly, the triangle shape represents stability, the hexagon shape is one of unity, and the diamond/kite shape speaks to universal balance. Altogether, the shapes and materials present display an entire story that divinely emphasizes the ring’s beauty.

General Information: All additional jewelry boxes, ring boxes, and other jewelry items pictured alongside a featured listing are considered props, are for photographic and display purposes only and are not included in the transaction unless otherwise noted. Items do not come with physical documentation, appraisals, or certifications, unless explicitly stated in the item description and/or title. While jewelry is inspected upon procurement by the shop as well as prior to shipment, Revival Fine Jewelry cannot guarantee a warranty once items leave our inventory, given the delicate and individual nature of secondhand articles and the unaccountability of buyer handling post-purchase.
Shipping: All orders are carefully packed within a branded Revival Fine Jewelry gift box, secured with recycled materials when possible, and shipped within a discreet outer shipping parcel. All orders ship with tracking, insurance and signature confirmation. Shipping options are presented at checkout. Per law and inegrity, international orders are always marked as commodity imports and customers are responsible for any and all customs expenses, VAT taxes and import fees, as well as any clearance costs legally dictated by their respective destination countries. These expenses are not calculated into the pricing structure, and returns based on import costs will not be permitted.
Returns: While Revival Fine Jewelry aims to provide a smooth experience from start to finish, customers are encouraged to reach out regarding any issue or dissatisfaction, so that we may work together toward a resolution. If a return is desired, the shop must be notified of an intention to return within 3 days of confirmed delivery, and item(s) must be shipped back to the shop within 7 days of confirmed delivery. All materials (gift box, inserts, cards) must be returned with the item(s). Returns declared after the 3 day window and/or postmarked after 7 days of receipt will neither be accepted nor refunded. Customers are responsible for generating an insured return shipping label (international customers included) and relaying the tracking information to Revival Fine Jewelry. Returns that do not include full insurance and/or tracking, and are damaged or lost in transit, will not be refunded. If a return is accepted, customers will be refunded less the original cost of shipping, handling and insurance, the expense of any damages incurred, and a 10% restocking fee (of the original purchase price). All sale items, items altered or resized by the buyer post-purchase, and all storage/ boxes are considered final sale and are ineligible for a return or refund.
Sale Terms: Sale prices are only valid within the prescribed sale window, unless otherwise stated by Revival Fine Jewelry or agreed upon between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer. To maintain business sustainability and general fairness, individual customers are not entitled to exclusive notification of, or owed access to, store sales antecedently. Orders processed prior to a promotion or sale, items placed on layaway prior to a sale, and payments paid through layaway prior to a sale will not be retroactively adjusted to reflect sale pricing or terms.
Specially Negotiated Deals: Items purchased at specially negotiated discounts, deals or prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer are considered final sale, including rates arranged and agreed upon via Facebook, Instagram, email or any other method. Closing deals at special rates reflects a desire by both parties to reach an expeditious and absolute sale. The intention of specially negotiated discounts, deals or sale prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer, is to eliminate extra expenses and/or use of time and resources to formally list or re-list items per their specific and inherent value-determining qualities, as well as avoid unseen overhead business costs, stocking obligations, and all other disclosed or undisclosed monetary and nonmonetary expenditures.
Pricing: Revival Fine Jewelry reserves the right to decrease, increase, alter and modify inventory pricing to meet market rarity, demand or value; to offset platform, transaction or seller's fees; to adapt to economic inflation and fluctuation; and to defray specific business expenses. Pricing is the sole discretion of every small business.
Regarding Brooches & Pins: Often significantly and curiously undervalued jewelry items, brooches, pins and stick pins are treasured pieces of history in this shop. Accordingly, their pricing is calculated analogous to other fine jewelry, including their symbolic meaning, rarity and historical prestige. Such pieces are typically converted to other forms of jewelry, and are therefore becoming increasingly rare in their original states. Aside from being perfectly wearable as sophisticated lapel ornaments, brooches and pins of all kinds are prime candidates for many kinds of fine jewelry conversions, including rings, earrings, pendants, and charms, if so desired by the consumer post-purchase. Revival Fine Jewelry does not perform conversion projects for customers.
Regarding Storage & Boxes: All specifications, including but not limited to the measurements, age, origins, and material compositions are supplied in good faith as professional estimations constructed using professional grade tools, years of learned and honed skills, educational resources and academic scholarship, and refined research methods. Regardless of our confidence in our descriptions and the photographs deemed viable extensions of these descriptions, we cannot guarantee the definitiveness, faultlessness, or exactitude beyond our knowledge and expertise. Kindly keep in mind that this and all items are sold as-is vintage, antique and estate secondhand wares, and consequently bear conditional wear in matter and operation commensurate with age and use.
