Jamie Joseph sterling silver ring featuring large oval rutilated quartz stone set in 14K gold bezel. Designer signed. Marked STERLING 14K. Ring size 8. Total weight: 15 grams.

Stunning Jamie Joseph ring showcasing her signature design philosophy: letting natural gemstones speak for themselves. This large oval rutilated quartz displays dramatic golden needles (rutile inclusions) suspended within crystal-clear quartz, set in a substantial 14K gold bezel mounted on a sterling silver band.

Jamie Joseph is widely considered one of the most important contemporary jewelry designers working today. Based in Seattle, her work is defined by a deep appreciation for raw, organic gemstones and expert metalwork that enhances rather than overpowers the stones. Her aesthetic of mixing high-karat gold bezels with oxidized sterling silver has become iconic and widely imitated but never equaled.

The rutilated quartz - often called "Venus hair stone" or "Cupid's darts" - is particularly prized when the rutile needles show this level of clarity and golden color. Joseph's organic, hand-fabricated bezels allow light to enter the stone from all angles, maximizing its natural beauty.
