ABOUT:
Remember that one story I've told you about an eBay buyer early in my career that bought a short choker chain (with measurements in the listing) and messaged me after in shouty caps asking if the chain was for a cat or for a baby? (tee hee, while it distressed me at the time it makes me chuckle now).
Well this one actually IS FOR A BABY! But works well as a pinky or midi ring with striking coloring and linear geometry.
This is a Victorian French antique ring crafted in 18k gold (tested, no hallmarks remain).
NOTE that some of the pictures I took show a lot of build up around the pearls. I don't like soaking pieces like these with all the little pearls but I noticed just now as I was studying it that it had some grime around them so I gave it a light cleaning and it is a lot tidier looking now.
Any props or additional items not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size 2.5
Ring face 12x7mm
Weight: 2.05 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Patina and wear to the stones. Some buildup between that may be adhesive residue but it cleaned up significantly from some of the original photos, see cover photo for post cleaning view. There is nothing very visible while wearing.
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 : )
