THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Ring
Materials: 18k Rose Gold, Opal
Size: 8 1/4
Era: Victorian (1837-1901)
ABOUT:
I love this ornate Victorian setting. The prongs look like the top of a crown and there are ball rivet details at each shoulder. Nice sized piece leading up to a very blue glowing opal.
Stamped 18k twice inside. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
Antique box is not included.
MEASUREMENTS:
Ring is currently about a size 8 1/4. The ring face is 16.5mm north south. The opal is about 14x10mm and the piece stands 7mm off the finger. Weighs 3.6g.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
The opal's surface has a matte finish from surface wear, we often see this on opals of this age. A few nicks and uniform all over scratching so it doesn't have a glossy shine but it has a wonderful blue color.
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 : )
But of course due to age - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition.
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
