Thatcher Bloodstone Shield Ring

This petite Victorian ring from the late 1800s makes for the perfect pinky ring or addition to any ring stack. With a bloodstone shield stone set front and center, this antique design is still a chic old-world statement! This ring was found in England.

We can trace bloodstones back to ancient times: the Babylonians often used the stones to make seals and amulets. Bloodstone was believed to have healing powers, especially for blood disorders. It is sometimes called the “martyr’s stone,” as legend tells that it was created when drops of Christ’s blood stained jasper at the foot of the cross.
