Selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world - thanks for stopping by!
ABOUT:
Unique French antique ring with a circular lozenge face decorated with a woman's profile .
Textbook Art Nouveau motif and design. I believe the image may be of Marianne, the Goddess of Liberty - she is one of the national symbols of France and represents freedom, equality and reason. The gold is a buttery 18k gold at the face with a rose gold shank. The detail on the face is very fine and remains legible and beautiful despite some wear.
This is an antique piece that I acquired in France from the Belle Epoque period. It has French hallmarks for 18k gold and a goldsmith stamp.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
MEASUREMENTS:
Currently measures a size 4 3/4 . It weighs 2 grams.
The ring face is 9mm in diameter.
CONDITION NOTES:
There is wear, some creases to the gold along her chin. Face is still very legible. Solder marks at the shoulder and some curves and nicks to the shank. The rose cuts are rough cut, irregular, read warm to gray and have nicks and frosty spots. They are very small and just add a glint of sparkle.
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 : )
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 shop! : )
