THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Ring
Materials: 23k Gold, Enamel
Size: 7 3/4
Era: Victorian (1837-1901)
ABOUT:
Unique and interesting buttery, glowing high carat gold antique ring that makes a great stackable band. Etruscan revival piece with rivet details and decorated shoulders with a red stripe of enamel down the center. Adds color and interest to a ring stack.
No hallmarks remain but sold to me from a reputable source in Europe as 23k and tested to confirm. Antique box is not included. There is a serial number stamped inside the ring face that appears more recent, perhaps a re-cataloging, etc.
Some loss to the enamel but the stripe still appears complete. A bit of buildup inside.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size 7 3/4, 4.7 mm north to south, 2.8mm deep / tall. It weighs 2.4 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
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 : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
