ABOUT:

French antique unisex gypsy ring set with 1/3 carat (approx) old mine cut diamond in a domed setting. The diamond has a nice crown and is eye clean which can be uncommon to find in antique stones.

The gypsy ring was incredibly popular during the Victorian era into the early 1900s and its timeless design remains an ever favored and wearable choice for today. This ring is substantial enough to wear alone but also layers well with other pieces. Nice and sturdy hand feel with a great sparkle.

This is a Paris find. It bears French hallmarks for 18k gold, it has a warm antique patina. Very slight rosy hues under magnification but reads as a rich yellow gold.

Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.

SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:

A snug size 6 1/4. The diamond is about 4.2mm so around .33 carat? I would not remove it for an exact measurement but it widens out a further unknown amount in the setting. Ring face is 7mm north south, tapering towards the back but remaining wide. It stands 4.8mm off the finger.
Ring weighs 5.3g.

CONDITION NOTES:
The diamond is eye clean with only faint inclusions seen under strong magnification. No damage, nibbles no nicks, etc. Surface wear to the gold as expected with age that can catch the light due to the mirrored finish.
It wears beautifully.

There are no dark or green spots to the gold, it was just difficult to photograph because it is so shiny and mirrored that it reflects its surroundings including the green leaves on the trees outside the window : ).

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 : )
