Dainty Antique .6 Carat Rose Cut DIAMOND Navette Ring French 18k Gold Disco Balls Skinny Minimalist Sparkle Victorian
ABOUT:
This one has a dainty footprint but with three nice sized round rose cuts glittering like little disco balls along this skinny navette with domed back. Note there is one small diamond missing from one tip but the shiny white metal helps mask this. I decided to sell it as is because I feared a repair could muddy the ring face and I didn't find it very noticeable.
Found in Paris. No hallmarks remain which is actually common for French pieces as they are marked in the back and often lost during a sizing or from wear. But sold to me from a reputable source in France where the standard is 18k and tested to confirm.
Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and the pictures can make it difficult to see scale. Antique box is not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Size 6. The center diamond is 4mm and the flanking ones are 3.5mm. The tiny one at one end is 1.2mm.
Like 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 when we can’t determine depth without removing them from the setting, which I would never do. But if you were to compare the diameters to brilliant cut diamonds, this piece has the appearance of 0.6 carat total weight.
The ring face is 15x4.8mm.
Weight is 2.2 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
One tiny end diamond is missing, sold as is. One diamond has two needle inclusions seen under magnification. The other one is eye clean. The center diamond has a carbon speck and some shallowest flakes to one edge which is barely eye visible if you are looking for it by studying the surface in a reflection of light. It otherwise appears complete with all stones filling the setting. Foil is nice and bright with no rust or muddiness.
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 : )
