Double HEART Cut Purple GARNET Antique c1862 Love Ring Antique 12k Gold Glowing Figural Band Stacker Victorian

ABOUT:
Can't believe this one is 163 years old and counting with the custom old cut heart shaped garnets! Beautiful coloring and form to this romantic piece that adds a gorgeous show of color, unique design and ornateness to a ring stack.

Also has the 360 degree engraved shank which is such a lovely detail found on some British Victorian period pieces. I love finding it. Makes a piece even more beautiful from all angles.

Aside from the old cut hearts which are a beautiful purple in color, the piece has two added elongated paste stones. So pretty!

Found in the UK with their hallmarks for 12k, Birmingham, date stamp 1862. Incidentally, this one has the N date stamp which looks very similar for the years 1862 & 1937, but we know this ring dates to the former due to the 12k fabrication, which was discontinued as a gold standard in 1932. Helpful clues that antique pieces can give us : )

Antique box is 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:

Size 7. 12mm north south at the ring face. It weighs just 1.55g.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

Some small nicks and surface wear to the stones, and some scratches but overall lovely sheen and color. Very legible. Some patina. The edges of the shank are a bit blunt with the thinner fabrication of the period but the piece is stable and does not flex. There is a little bar of gold on the inside of one shoulder that appears to be a reinforcement not visible when wearing but there is a seam there on the exterior that can be sought out. One of the garnets is chipped to the underside, seen when looking through the stone under magnification, this can occasionally reflect the light if looking through the stone.

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 : )
