Antique Scalloped Daisy Cluster .7 Carat Diamond Halo Ring Transitional Old Single Cut French Art Deco PLATINUM 18k White Gold
ABOUT:
Romantic antique French halo cluster ring with milgrain detail surrounding the scalloped ring face. The piece is crafted in 18k white gold and platinum with a larger transitional cut diamond at the center raised in prongs. This is surrounded by 13 smaller old single cut diamonds around the outside.
Nice size footprint on the finger for a bright and beautiful antique sparkle.
HALLMARK:
This is an antique piece from the Art Deco period that I acquired in France. The hallmarks are worn but still legible to me as I have seen them a thousand times, bearing the platinum and 18k gold strikes.
Antique box not included. Please note the detailed measurements that I always provide, as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures where I am required to show zoomed in detail.
MEASUREMENTS:
Currently measures a size 6 1/4. The circle part of the ring face is 14mm in diameter. It stands 7.5mm off the finger.
The largest center diamond is about 4.5mm in diameter and about .35 carat to give you an idea of scale and the single cuts are about 2mm each for a total of around 0.7 carat estimated.
It weighs 3.1 grams.
CONDITION NOTES:
The center diamond is eye clean with no nicks, chips or cracks, and has a nice rainbow fire to it. The smaller old single cuts have some frosty spots, some of it just buildup from the small settings being hard to clean and others just from the frosted girdle (outside rim of the stone) reflecting. This can mostly be seen only under magnification, however this is not a flaw. It is just how the diamond was cut with the frosted girdle being expected (and providing authenticity) to stones of this age. One has a some tiny nicks in one area at the surface of the sone but again they are small and add a lovely sparkle and wears beautifully to the eye.
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks and some prong wear as expected on a piece of this age in original condition. 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 : )
