FLORAL French Antique Emerald Cut Blue Spinel RiNG 18k Gold FORGET Me Not Garland Halo Ring

ABOUT:

NOTE - the video shows a speck on the table. This was just a floofie or dust. The piece has no chips.

Unique and interesting French 18k gold ring with a figural flower garland design set with a wonderful center pale blue emerald cut spinel. Buttery gold patina and the most lovely coloring with the stone. The stone is completely clear so I am assuming likely synthetic, a popular choice for the period.

This is an antique piece that I acquired in France from the Belle Epoque period, surprisingly there are no major abrasions to the face / top surface of the stone, it has a beautiful shine and polish. Beautiful form and movement to this floral setting in buttery gold with forget me not flowers and leaves, with banded shoulders.

Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.

HALLMARKS:
This is marked with the French hallmark for 18k gold.

MEASUREMENTS:

Currently measures a size 8 3/4, I do think it could be a good candidate for a sizing as it looks like gold had been added to the back at one point in its history but best to check with your local jeweler. Weighs 3.6 grams. The spinel is 9x5mm.

CONDITION NOTES:

All my pieces are preowned and in estate condition. This one seems in better than most condition, like it was rarely worn as there are no abrasions or even eye visible nicks to the stones. Very crisp design. Some Surface wear from use and wear to the gold band commensurate with age. It is still nicely shaped. The stone moves the tiniest bit but does not rattle while wearing and is certainly secure. This one wears so beautifully!

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 : )

Very sweet piece from a very special era. 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! : )
