In geological terms, bloodstone is a green chalcedony colored by inclusions of chlorite or amphibole, with its characteristic “blood” spots formed by hematite or red jasper.

In Greek and Roman cultures, it symbolized strength and courage; in medieval Europe it was associated with healing and protection; while in Christian lore it became linked with martyrdom symbolism. Although these associations are symbolic, they contribute to the enduring mystique of the stone.

The deep green background features subtle red inclusions that beautifully complement the four rubies set as cardinal points on the bezel.

Elegant and slightly mysterious, this piece would sit beautifully on the wrist on a Friday evening, perhaps at a softly lit bar, listening to jazz and enjoying a well-crafted cocktail.
