ABOUT:
A fun chunky gypsy ring with tall squared off top set with an east west garnet. The garnet has a deep purplish berry red hue.
Sturdy hand feel.
Adds a wonderful geometry and color to a ring stack.
Found in France but I don't know where it was made. It has a cartouche inside for the maker "Criso" and is stamped 750 which is the numerical hallmark used in Europe for 18k gold. It also has a French stamp for 18k to confirm it was checked / tested.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size: 8 1/4
Weight: 6.2 grams
Stone: 7.5mm oval
North south: 7.8mm and 4mm tall
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
The garnet has abrasions which can catch light, especially in direct light, showing the scuffs to the facets. It is less noticeable when viewed face on and in ambient light but please look for it in photos.
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 : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
