I wish I owned all the antique jewelry in all the world!
Back from my Spring inventory trip to Europe with a pile of goodies that I will be rolling out now through summer! Follow along on Instagram @MousesHouseAntiques!
Unique French antique flaming heart ring from the 1800s. Rich antique patina in 18k gold with a the raised flaming heart motif at center. The open work shank has raised rivets around all sides giving it an almost medieval look like something you would see in a period piece movie. The rivets are intentional to the Rosary / Hail Marys so the wearer could run their finger along them while praying or meditating. That was its historical purpose but the ball rivets give it a great, relevant design for any wearer. Makes a striking and unique stacker with a great antique appearance and a touch of romance as well.
The hallmark was lost in a sizing but the recognizable French counterstrike still remains inside the shank.
Antique box not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Currently a size 8 1/2 on my ring sizer mandrel. It weighs a dainty 1.65 grams as the ring face is hollow behind.
CONDITION NOTES:
All my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. Some surface wear and shank is slightly out of round. Evidence of a sizing to the back. Dainty piece with light weight hand feel but still very legible and wearable. But with all my items - Please note this is not a mint condition item.
Thanks so much for looking at my collection! I'd be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop.
