ABOUT:
This north wind man blew a snow storm right into our Minnesota spring! Whimsical and ornate ring with circular lozenge face with open work detail depicting a green man or north wind man character. It may also represent a faun or pan - but such a great look with the character blending in to the richly textured and chiseled ring face. Scarce design, this was likely a pin or another element that was added to a hoop shank to create a ring. Fun character to a ring stack.
No hallmarks remain, sold to me as 18k gold from a reputable dealer. Warm antique patina to the gold with both high shine and textured matte finish. The gold work is delicious.
Would make a lovely gift, is beautiful worn alone and makes a great stacker.
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: 7 1/4
The ring face is 16mm north south. The diamond is about 2.5mm.
It weighs 4.4g
CONDITION NOTES:
Typical antique diamond with natural inclusions leading up to the surface leaving a slight natural crease. It is a small stone so seen mostly under magnification.
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! : )
