Antique Pale Yellow Center & White Half Carat Old Mine Cut DIAMOND Halo Cluster Ring 18k Gold
Antique Pale Yellow Center & White Half Carat Old Mine Cut DIAMOND Halo Cluster Ring 18k Gold
ABOUT:
I love this one for its yellow center. Antique old mine cut cluster ring with 10 stones, the largest center old mine cut a beautiful pale yellow in color, surrounded by the halo of smaller whiter diamonds for contrast.
Warm and yellow hues are my favorite part of antique diamond hunting and this is a sweet one the way it combines two colors on one piece.
The diamond seems to vary in hue based on the lighting. It isn't a vibrant yellow but even as I look at it now in medium light it is quite noticeable. I showed in compared to another white omc cluster to help you compare. Hopefully the photos in all lighting conditions give you an idea of how it wears. Lovely antique buttery gold.
Found in England, stamped 18CT for 18k gold.
Antique box is not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from photos.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
A snug Size 7 1/2. The ring face is 8mm in diameter. It stands 3.9mm off the finger. It weighs 2.65 grams.
The center diamond is about 4mm. The rest are about 1.8mm each give or take, for a total carat weight of almost half a carat. Note - exact depths in the setting are unknown as I would never remove them so this is an estimation.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
The center diamond has a needle inclusion seen under magnification but not really eye visible. Some of the outside diamonds have nibbles and/or chips to the underside giving them a frosty appearance. They are all still round and complete in the bezels.
Typical antique diamonds with some natural inclusions. Again some appear quite frosty but they are small. No dark or glaring carbon spots. None of the stones move but you can see the wear related to its age with several of the outside prongs worn back, however most of the corner prongs are quite good so it is still wearable, perhaps just not for 24/7. Still a cute footprint and nice sparkle, just pointing out everything seen under magnification as this one is being sold as is.
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 : )
