ABOUT:
My best selling antique ring styles as of late are daisy clusters, gypsy rings and stackable diamond bands, I always say I can't seem to get enough of them and true to form my last diamond band sold quickly. So here is one more! : )
This five stone ring is set with a mix of diamonds in graduating sizes. One of the smallest end stones is a transitional cut and the other four are old mine cuts. Not a really noticeable difference while wearing, just reflect the light slightly differently with the transitional having a slightly lower crown. Adds a nice uniqueness to the piece. Layers well with other pieces!
No hallmarks remain, sold to me as 18k and tested to confirm.
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 4.2mm and the flanking diamonds are 3.3mm and then 2.7mm. I would not remove them from the antique setting for an exact measurement but estimated around .9 carat total weight.
Size 6 1/2, the ring face is 4.4mm north to south, 18mm east west, 5mm tall of the finger. It weighs 2.85 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Typical antique diamonds with some natural inclusions. Nothing dark or glaring but some frosty spots. One diamond second to the end has an area of frostiness over about half of one side. There is a round shallow flake of loss to the center stone on one of the edge facets. The stone still appears complete and round to the eye, it fills the bezel and the setting, but it is more of a texture difference seen when you study the edge in a reflection where you can see it is missing the polished finish in that one circle. Typical antique diamonds with a slight warmth to some. Some rub marks to the vertical edges from having been stacked with other pieces. A worn prong here or there typical for age to keep an eye on over time, but the piece is still very stable.
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!
