I love it when they crop out of the setting for that crusty antique texture that can only be found with stones hand cut in the old methods no longer used today!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the case with this French Edwardian era antique ring. It's a beautiful, glittery little skinny band but viewing it from the side shows the chunky diamonds AND the beautiful engravings on the north and south vertical edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the old cut diamonds have crown facets that are long and triangular scissor cuts with really high crowns. This gives them all a hand chiseled look which we love to find. Perhaps a combination of a French cut \/ Old Mine Cut ? as diamond cutters at the time used their personal knowledge, taste and expertise to enhance each diamond. It is always fun to find uniquely cut antique diamonds! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect wedding band or stacker. If you notice an interruption to the engraved pattern, that is not damage, but the French hallmark strike for platinum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos, especially with the zoomed images that I am required to present for detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE \u0026amp; MEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 5, Weighs 2.5 grams.\u003cbr\u003e\n2.5mm north south by 2.2mm deep give or take to the varying diamond crowns so a nice thickness and sturdy hand feel.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe diamonds are each about 2.4mm give or take and with 29 of them running all the way around the ring, it totals over 1.5 carat in old cut diamonds, despite having a dainty and minimalist look on the finger. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:\u003cbr\u003e\nOne diamond is a single cut and is quite frosty. The old cuts are typical in that they have varying hues and varying natural inclusions. No glaring carbon or really dingy stones. A few nicks and nibbles as expected for age as eternity rings come into so much contact with surfaces on the palm side of the hand. Wonderful glittery texture. With all the small stones in an antique setting, I don't typically recommend any of my antiques for daily wear. It can be done of course but may require more maintenance from time to time, although we find this with machine made \/ modern eternity bands as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease 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. : )\u003cbr\u003e\nBut - 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 : )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOCIAL:\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease feel free watch @mouseshouseantiques on Instagram for inventory drops, sneak peaks and previews!
