ABOUT:
I love to view this one from all angles because the setting is crafted with beveled panels, each differently hand engraved. the designs at the shoulders remind me of feathers and the swirls leading up to the ring face at the corners almost look like wings. Even the little white gold top where the Old European Cut diamond is set is engraved with a textured design. Just so much fun detail and geometry. A great unisex ring!
As an added bonus, the piece is personalized inside with an engraving of initials and a date of 8-4-23 for August 4, 1923.
Wonderful warm antique patina, the piece is crafted in 18k gold and 14k white gold and is hallmarked as such. The majority of the setting is the 18k yellow gold, with the diamond setting topped in 14k white gold as was customary for the period to set diamonds in a white metal.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
The center diamond is about 4.3mm. I would not remove it from the antique setting for an exact measurement but estimated around .37 carat.
Size 8 1/2, the ring face is 11mm north to south, and 5.6mm tall off the finger. It weighs 5.75 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Typical antique diamond with a small number of faint / light natural inclusions, very slightly eye visible. No damage to the stone or setting.
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 : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
