Marie Antoinette gave a large cat-eye stone ring to her friend the Count De Fersen who never stopped wearing it after her execution. Unfortunately he too was killed on the steps of Stockholm Cathedral when one of the assailants cut off his finger and threw it with the ring into the sea. From that moment onwards the assailant was haunted by the ring through constant aberrations of the finger returning to threaten him.
The small rough cut turquoise stones form some unique shapes to add interest to the design.
£7.95 - A large blue cat-eye stone set in an ornate pendant suspended from five rows of strung blue beads. A fraction of the price sold elsewhere. Approximate length is sixteen inches.
The gorgeous cat-eye stone is set inside a unique decoration of ornate base metal. The contrasting blue colours make a necklace that looks far more expensive than the price suggests.
