ABOUT:

At the moment I am especially drawn to stackable diamond bands and this is an ornate one with nice sized diamonds that slightly graduate in size and total around 1 full carat. I try to acquire as many as I can because they are so versatile and wearable that they are always very popular.

In Antique 18k gold with scrolled gallery. At some point in its past, it was re-tipped around all the main five stones making this antique beauty ready for regular wear! Those five stones aren't going anywhere!

The ring face has a nice diamond encrusted look with six additional tiny rose cut gemset prongs / diamond spacers at the corners between the larger stones. However there are three missing - but the spaces are so small, that I decided to sell it as is. Some tiny chips could be secured in with adhesive but that often isn't a permanent solution, and my fear with having small diamonds reset there with metal is that it could kind of muddy the ring face adding gold work that may end up the size of the diamonds itself if that makes sense? So that's why I decided to sell it as is, with the five diamonds the star of the show and some spacers for accents (but not all). Sometimes with these old pieces it is better to accept their eccentricities than risk overworking the piece.

This one is a great stacker with the five stones propped up a bit instead of closely hugging the finger, so it layers well with bands especially.

Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.

HALLMARKS:
Found in England, stamped 18CT inside for 18k gold.

SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:

Size 7. It weighs 3.45 grams.
The center diamond is 5mm and about a half a carat alone. The flanking two stones are 3.5mm each and the diamonds on each end are about 2.7mm.

Exact carat weight is unknown as I would not remove the stones from the antique center but estimated total weight of around 1 carat.

Stands 4.5mm off the finger, 5.8mm north to south and 18mm east west for all five diamonds.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

All my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. Typical antique diamonds that have some faint natural inclusions. The center stone has some silk and crystal inclusions in one spot with a tiny smattering of carbon specks but it is not throughout the stone and is only slightly eye visible. It has a nice bright white color. The flanking stones are eye clean with a slight warmth. The end stones also read warmer but much of this is due to the smaller stones being overlapped by the reinforced prongs. They are splayed outward just slightly and do not "face up" like the center stones which are perfectly perpendicular from the ring face to the eye view, which affects how they reflect the light. One stone has a tiny frosty unpolished spot tucked into one edge, very slightly eye visible. As mentioned three diamond spacers are missing, six remain. The spacers are typical irregular tiny rough rose cuts.

Shank is sturdy and with the reinforced prongs, the five main stones are ready for daily wear. But Due to age - please note this is not a mint condition item.

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 : )
