Malachite is a distinctive and decorative stone known for its unique pattern of varying shades of green. This vivid gem gets its color from copper and is found worldwide, including in Russia, Africa, Mexico, and Australia. Malachite has been used as a mineral pigment in paints, decorative vases, ornamental stones, and, of course, rings.
Creating a handmade malachite ring requires time and attention to detail. To begin the process, gold is melted and formed into a rectangular bar before being cooled and passed through a jewelry roller to reduce its thickness. The metal is then repeatedly heated and cooled to make it more pliable and molded into a ring shape using a bending tool. The final steps involve smoothing, polishing, and setting the ring with expertly cut and polished malachite stones.
The Ohliguer brand pays tribute to the creator's grandmother and great-grandmother, who inspired her to live a royal lifestyle every day. The brand's craft has been refined through years of training, including an invitation to study under the jewelry greats of Bulgari in Rome and traveling the world.
Ohliguer's stunning "Namesake" royal crest pendants are created with care and creativity. These pendants are like wearing a bar of raw gold, and can be worn layered every day with your royal birthstone. They are also reversible, making them twice as beautiful. Choose from a variety of royal gems, including malachite, lapis, onyx, pearl, opal, and chalcedony.
