Their flat bottoms and smaller amounts of facets give them such a wonderful antique twinkle with their disco ball tops. Like sparkly little raindrops adorning the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a fun and uncommon one as usually we see our five stones with old mine cuts so it's fun to find an antique one with rose cuts in a setting that has always been open backed. The stones are draped across the top of the finger leading to a knife edge shank. No hallmarks but tests at 18k gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many antique diamonds they are quite freeform in nature appearing as graduated ovals in a row on the hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntique box is not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures. Feel free to check my website or request more photos or video as I have many besides those allowed here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE \u0026amp; MEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA snug Size 6 1\/4. Weight is 1.6 grams.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ring face is 5.7mm north south and 4.2m off the finger to the center diamond.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe center diamond measures about 5.1x3.7mm, then 4.5x3.7mm and 4.3x3.4mm and the end stones 3.5x2.5mm and 3.7x3mm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most rose cuts they have a lower comparative carat weight than a modern diamond but the surface area gives it the appearance of a larger carat stone. Rose cut diamonds are typically quite spready. So it is difficult to speculate on carat weight as I don't want to ruin the setting by removing them. But if you were to compare the diameters to brilliant cut diamonds, this piece has the face up appearance of 0.9 carat. Actual carat weight is of course quite a bit less but to give you an idea of scale and how the piece wears. See also the measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:\u003cbr\u003e\nI had hoped to price this one higher because it is quite uncommon and I knew it would be popular, but after studying it, it really needs gentler wear. Alot of the prongs show wear. None of the stones move and they are all pinched in in about 5-6 places but the prongs are quite worn. It's a delicate ring that is beautiful to wear, since I rotate my collection, this is one I'd wear for more special occasions in rotation. Many of my customers are collectors who wear their jewelry the same way so I always sell them in as found condition because fortifying them can sometimes muddy the ring face and change the look of the piece. Again it was priced accordingly with room to do some fortification if the buyer so chooses. Still special as these are not easy to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stones are typical for the period and vary - some eye clean, one of the smallest end stones has a small smattering of carbon slightly eye visible. There are a few frosty specks and rough edges. One end stone almost looks like it used to be round and was polished down to align with the shape of the others. Still an antique old rose cut original to the piece but each one is cut sort of freeform. One stone second from the end has some frost along the outside edge and some nibbles, they all have unpolished girdle edges here and there from being cut before modern technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a wonderful twinkling sparkle. Like all rose cuts they were intended to be worn in lower light so direct sunlight gives it a wonderful glitter but can cause some of the frost spots to catch the light. Feel free to request more videos or see my Instagram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease 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. : )\u003cbr\u003e\nBut - 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 : )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOCIAL:\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease feel free watch @mouseshouseantiques on Instagram for inventory drops, sneak peaks and previews!
