A 24.7 carat bloodstone from Madagascar can go into a ring or a pendant, and both work. As a silver pendant, the dark green body and its spots read clearly. As a ring it makes a wide, masculine statement; mount it low and enclosed, because bloodstone rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale and its edges can chip against hard surfaces.

Gold gives a warmer look and silver a cooler one, and both suit dark green. We can talk through a custom silver ring setting with you on WhatsApp.

On the Mohs scale bloodstone rates 6.5 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy bloodstone from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone.
