Act III Summary

Cursed ring?

Idk what the ring's stone is supposed to be in manga canon. The anime suggests it's a chip from the Hope Diamond, long believed to cause the untimely death of its owners, but the manga hasn't mentioned diamonds.

The manga has mentioned sapphire, but only in the context of Sapphire House at Weston. There is also a really deeply placed reference to a ring with a beryl stone, also during the Weston arc (ch73): if you read the elegy (look for Book IV.7:1-96 Cynthia: From Beyond the Grave on this page... or in an old post, and here's the Latin) that Sebastian has the Latin class read, it's about a man who's haunted by the ghost of a woman who is angry at him for not mourning her properly, and she claims his slave girl poisoned her. There's stuff about her funeral, the rivers of the Underworld, Cerberus and other figures, and a ring with a beryl stone -- her funeral pyre had damaged the ring (maybe partly melted the band off her finger?). Beryls can be a lovely deep blue, like the stone in the Phantomhive ring. More old posts: X X X I'm particularly fond of the idea that the Phantomhive ring has a maxixe beryl, like this one:
