THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Ring
Materials: Platinum, Diamond
Size: 5 1/2
Era: Early 1900s
ABOUT:
Nice quality east west navette / boat ring. This French antique is in platinum with five old mine cut diamonds totaling around half a carat. Layers well but a lovely sparkle alone too.
No hallmarks remain but sold to me from a reputable source in France and tested to confirm.
Typical antique diamonds with some natural inclusions, the center stone has a carbon inclusion but mostly eye clean. A few nicks as we often see on diamonds of this age, but all the stones appear complete to the eye.
Antique box not included.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size 5 1/2, it is 6.5 mm north to south, 17mm east west, 4.8mm deep / tall. It weighs 2.4grams. The largest center diamond is about 4mm, the others are about 2.5mm so I am getting about 0.5 carat total weight estimated (!) in diamonds.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
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 : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
