This is a ring that earns the word substantial — 8.5 grams of sterling silver in a wide ribbed band with a rope-style accent framing a large oval green stone. The architecture is the point here: the horizontal ribbing across the full face of the band gives it a structural, almost architectural quality, and the rope detail around the bezel adds a second layer of texture that keeps the eye moving between the metalwork and the stone. I believe the center stone is a large oval green quartz, consistent with prasiolite — the green variety of quartz produced by heat treatment of amethyst or yellowish quartz. The color reads as a soft, clear green with good transparency, and the oval cut shows faceting cleanly through the face. The stone was tested with SmartPro Gem Eye 1, which returned green quartz. Carat weight is estimated at approximately 5.25 carats based on measurements rather than direct weighing. The rope accent around the bezel has a gold tone and was tested with the KeeGold tester — the result was inconclusive, so gold content cannot be confirmed.
The band is stamped 925 with additional marks present but not fully legible. The design works as a unisex statement ring — the wide ribbed band and scale sit comfortably on larger hands but the size 7.75 fits a range of wearers.

Condition: Good pre-owned condition. Light surface wear consistent with use. Stone secure, no chips noted. Please inspect photos carefully.
Why It Stands Out: Wide ribbed statement rings with substantial green stones are a specific and searchable category, and this one delivers on both counts. The 8.5 gram weight gives it real presence on the hand, and the combination of ribbed silver and gold-tone rope bezel is a two-tone detail that elevates the construction beyond a plain solitaire. The prasiolite-consistent green quartz is a stone that reads as high-end without requiring a high-end price point. A strong unisex option for buyers who prefer scale and structure over delicate detail work.
