Antique Edwardian Pink RUBY 18k Gold Fuchsia Oval Old Cut Diamond Scalloped Halo Belle Epoque Stacker Colorful Geometric Romantic Gift

ABOUT:

A pretty little ruby with a pretty little halo.
This French antique ring has an oval ruby at the center with a scalloped halo that is an illusion setting where the white precious metal top is faceted at the corners to "sparkle" like a diamond. Evenly spaced in between these are four old single cut diamonds, set on the north/south, east and west "petals" of the scalloped halo. A splash of color in the ringstack with a glint of sparkle and beautiful shape. It is also wonderful to see the stone in excellent condition.

This antique piece that I purchased in France is crafted in 18k gold. It is topped at the shoulders and ring face in a white precious metal with milgrain details. The place I purchased it from believed it to be platinum but I don't scratch test ring faces for fear of damage.

The center stone is a synthetic ruby, a very popular choice for the period.

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

HALLMARKS:
French hallmark for 18k gold.

SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:

Size 6. The stone measures about 5x4mm. The ring face is 10x9mm.
It weighs 3.1 grams.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
The stone is excellent, showing little to no wear with just a few of the tiniest nibbles under magnification. There is a scratch test / shaving to the back of the shank that will blend in more with time and wear.

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 : )
