Victoria Mason 'Primary' Ring with Bloodstone

This Round Primary ring is simplicity at its finest. It features a cabochon Australian Chrysoprase, cut in-house, which makes this gemstone the star of the show. “I met the woman who fossicked the original gem material, she was tough & knowledgeable of chrysoprase & where to find them. This gem is especially bright & apple green in colour, originally found in Yerilla, Western Australia.”

The Primary Collection is a reduction of design back to its basic elements - square and round. In this collection you will see a distillation of shapes to reveal strong forms with some of the lesser known gemstones valued for their vibrancy.
