THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Ring
Materials: 18k Gold, Diamond
Size: 5 1/2
Era: Victorian Late 1800s
ABOUT:
Chunky three stone band with old mine cut diamonds flush mount into the shank. The center diamond is especially chunky with a high crown and the buttery glowing gold work domes up to it so it crops out tall from the ring face. French antique piece in 18k gold. Beautiful sparkle and layers well with other pieces too.
Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and the pictures can make it difficult to see scale. Antique box is not included.
Antique box is not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Size 5 1/2. The center diamond is about 3.5mm with the flanking two about 2mm each. The ring face is 4.7mm north south at the face and it stands 3.6mm off the finger. Exact depth of stones is unknown as I would no remove them.
The piece weighs 2.7g.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
A little wear to the bezels where it is uneven under magnification but the stones are super secure. No damage or visible inclusions to the antique diamonds. Back of the shank is slightly out of round. Evidence of a sizing to the back seen from the inside.
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 : )
