THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Ring
Materials: 18k Gold, Diamond, Sapphire
Size: 5 3/4
Era: Victorian (1837-1901)
ABOUT:
Navette's are a favorite of mine and this one is especially dramatic so if you bump into me on the streets of Minnesota, expect to see it on my finger until it sells : )
Beautiful French antique ring in 18k gold with 6 graduating chunky old mine cuts totaling .8 carats in diamonds. These diamonds are set 3 above and 3 below a center square natural sapphire. Sigh... love it so much.
It is very beautiful and sparkly and fun to wear.
Antique box not included, it will come in a modern box.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Currently a size 5 3/4. The ring face is 24mm top to bottom by 5.3mm. The sapphire is 4.3x4.2mm and the two largest diamonds are 3.7mm to give you an idea of scale. Chunky diamonds with high crowns. It weighs 2.4g.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
All my pieces are pre owned and in estate condition. Some wear to a few of the prongs. So this one needs a bit gentler wear due to that and also the fact that it sharp at the tips because of the skinny navette. All stones are present though and secure, it is super sparkly, and the stones are all in good shape with very little wear. Typical antique diamonds with a few feathery inclusions seen only under very strong magnification, nothing visible to the eye and no dark spots. They have a very nice bright white color and excellent sparkle. One of the prongs on the sapphire seems to catch / as a burr or a sharp point that is not seen and does not affect the wearability or stability of the ring, but is felt when I run my finger over the surface. Just mentioning every little thing. But as with all my antique pieces - this is not a mint condition item.
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 store! : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
