ABOUT:
Several personal collection releases in today's ring drop, some tough ones to let go but I try to make a habit of dialing back on kept inventory from time to time. I need to move some things for my spring inventory trips.
This one was beloved because of the gorgeous glowing patina, the alternating floral embossed and ribbon details and the wonderful provenance with the engraving inside. In a striking antique font it is engraved PMLM with a date in French of February 15, 1864.
French antique hallmark for 18k gold used primarily in the 1800s and later discontinued. Fabulous patina with a buttery glow in the recesses and rosy highlights from age.
Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
Antique box not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Size 6. The ring is 3.5mm north south. It weighs 3.9g.
CONDITION NOTES:
There are no dark spots to the gold, it was just difficult to photograph because it reflects its surroundings.
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 enjoy making my customers happy and matching unique pieces with new homes. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! It means a lot to me that you are visiting my shop! : )
