ABOUT:

A unique gypsy band ring with step cut green tourmaline set at an angle into the domed ring face. Beautiful glowing 18k gold with an interesting geometry and the gorgeous color of the tourmaline.

The gypsy ring was incredibly popular during the Victorian era into the early 1900s and its timeless design remains an ever favored and wearable choice for today. This ring is substantial enough to wear alone but also layers well with other pieces. Rings such as this were also a popular choice for men to wear during this period as well so it is a true unisex ring.

Found in Paris with the French hallmark for 18k.

Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures. Antique box is not included.

MEASUREMENTS:
Size: 8
The stone is about 8 by 4.5mm
Ring face: 9.6mm north south
Height off finger: 5mm tall.
Weight: 5.3g.

CONDITION NOTES:

The stone teeters in the setting but it is trapped in there by the two long prongs and the way the lower part / pavilion of the stone is set into the ring face. So it is not in danger of falling it out, but I noticed it moved while I was cleaning it. The ring is somewhat closed back in that you can't get a toothbrush to the inside back of the stone, and there is a bit of buildup behind the stone which shows some cloudy spots, mostly under magnification. The back of the stone is not sealed in there, it's just hard to reach in a V shaped bezel of gold. Excellent sheen / condition and color to the stone.

Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
