THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Ring
Materials: 18k Gold, Platinum, Diamond
Size: 5 1/4
Era: Turn of the century, Early 1900s
ABOUT:
Sturdy antique French diamond solitaire ring in linear gypsy setting. Set in warm, 18k antique gold with both a buttery and rosy glow. Love it! The diamond bezel is crafted in platinum as was customary for the period to set diamonds in a white metal.
French hallmarks for 18k and platinum.
Antique box not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Measures size 5 1/4 . The diamond is 4mm give or take, as it widens out an unknown amount in the bezel and I would not remove it. Probably around 1/3 carat / 0.3ctw? Ring face measures 7.5mm north south and 4.5mm tall. It weighs 4.25 grams.
CONDITION NOTES:
A little wear to the bezel from age. Typical antique diamond with some nicks and tiny faint natural inclusions seen only under magnification. Beautiful color and sparkle to the eye.
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 : )
