A shape inspired by renowned french jeweller Suzanne Belperron, an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship, this natural carved chalcedony ring is detailed by 2 pure 24k gold rings that have been added using the Kundan technique.
A translucent powder blue with a hint of lilac. This gem seems to glow as it absorbs the light and radiates neutral pastel blue that works with any outfit. The finest chalcedony appears ghostly yet eye catching when worn with white and dramatic but chic when worn with black.
Kundan uses pure (24k) gold foil that is first tapped into anchor holes (if you look closely you can see them) and then layer upon layer is built up, carefully, over many hours by a kundan specific setter. Each layer of gold is tapped over the previous layer which is compressed and fuse together due to golds natural malleable properties. In India, this technique has been used to set and fasten gems into a range of materials (jewellery, ornaments, royal weapons and drinking vessels) over centuries and plays a key roll in India’s rich history of adornment, understanding of luxury and attention to detail.

Jewellery Maintenance at AGJ
At AGJ, our jewellery pieces are all handmade in small batches using 92.5 Sterling Silver (92.5–94% pure silver), unless stated otherwise. As each piece is crafted by hand, slight variations may occur, adding to the uniqueness of each item. Our pieces feature natural gemstones, each personally selected by in-house gemmologist Alexander for its unique beauty. These natural treasures are one-of-a-kind, featuring inclusions, stone lines, and colour variations that serve as the gemstone’s unique fingerprint and add to its charm.
Proper care is essential to maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewellery. Precious metals and gemstones have distinct qualities and limitations, so mindful wear is crucial. Over time, jewellery may naturally develop light tarnish influenced by body chemistry, climate, and exposure to certain chemicals. To restore its shine, gently polish with a soft cotton or silver cloth. For a deeper clean, use a soft toothbrush and mild dish soap to remove dirt and residue.
To preserve your jewellery:
• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine in swimming pools.
• Remove jewellery before bathing to prevent soap, shampoo, or conditioner buildup.
• Avoid wearing pieces during exercise, strenuous activities, or household chores to reduce the risk of damage.
Certain pieces require special attention. Kundan jewellery, for instance, should never come into contact with liquids, and carved gemstone rings are particularly delicate, requiring extra care.
Necklaces, pearls, and gemstone bead strands are prone to residue buildup due to their proximity to an area they may come in contact with makeup, hair and face products as well as perspiration. Clean them regularly with a soft damp cloth and consider restringing bead strands every 12 months to maintain their integrity. Chains can be cleaned using a soft toothbrush and mild detergent.
The surface of a metal, known as its patina, evolves over time due to wear and environmental factors. This natural process is part of your jewellery's story, giving it a unique character. Patina can be maintained with proper care, including gentle cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals.
Our Gemstones, unless described as “eye clean,” our gemstones may feature natural inclusions, stone lines, and variations in colour from piece to piece. These unique characteristics are a testament to their authenticity, much like the fingerprints of a gemstone. We carefully hand-select each stone for its individual beauty.
We embrace the natural transformation of jewellery over time. Fine scratches, patina, and subtle changes in appearance reflect a life well-loved and add depth and personal history to your cherished pieces—qualities celebrated across cultures for generations.
If you have questions about the care or condition of your jewellery, or if you need personalised advice or assessment, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your jewellery deserves the care it needs to be treasured for a lifetime.
