{"product_id":"chinese-green-chalcedony-square-ring","title":"Chinese Green Chalcedony Square Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eA square stone on a round band. In Chinese that combination describes a kind of person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e外圓內方, round on the outside and square within.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is what you say about someone who is easy to deal with and impossible to move: pleasant in a meeting, accommodating about the small things, and completely unbudgeable on the one thing that actually matters to them. The round part is manners. The square part is the spine underneath. It has been a compliment for about two thousand years, and it is still the polite way to say that somebody cannot be pushed around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone is green chalcedony in a pale celadon, the colour Chinese porcelain spent centuries chasing. It is quiet, slightly cloudy, and not trying to pass for emerald. Two small red stones sit at the corners as the only warm note on the whole ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor anyone who is done apologising for having a position.\u003c\/strong\u003e It suits someone starting a job where they will need to hold a line, or a person you admire for exactly that quality and have never said so. Give it to the friend who is unfailingly polite and still gets their way, and they will know what you meant by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a large face for a small ring, so it reads as deliberate rather than dainty, and it does not need anything else on the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWearing it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band is open at the back and bends gently to fit, so treat it as one adjustable size and work it as little as you can. Chalcedony is hard enough for daily wear but the gold finish is not, so keep it away from hand cream and perfume and take it off before washing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green chalcedony, square cabochon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-toned openwork scrollwork, with two small red stones at the corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open band, adjustable, one size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e See the photograph of it worn on a hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntention:\u003c\/strong\u003e Composure with a backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural stone, so the colour and cloudiness differ on every ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Earth Tibet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52650849009966,"sku":"200000226:175;200000369:200001539","price":38.33,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4807\/7102\/files\/green-chalcedony-adjustable-ring-2.webp?v=1789713142","url":"https:\/\/www.earthtibet.com\/products\/chinese-green-chalcedony-square-ring","provider":"Earth Tibet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
