French " OK " Antique Old Mine Cut DIAMOND 7g 18k Gold Signet Ring Initials Monogram 10mm Wide

ABOUT:

I'm OK, You're OK, We're all OK! : )
I call this my positive mental health ring - where a glance at the hand is a gentle encouragement that everything is going to be OK. It could also be a fun piece for someone with ties to Oklahoma or with the relevant initials. Or just a bold and interesting letter band.

This fun piece has the striking letters raised above the rich, buttery, triple ribbed shank. The O is set with a fabulous old mine cut diamond that is uniquely cut with a Very Large octagonal open culet.

The patina is delicious French antique 18k gold, hallmarked, with a buttery glow and rosy highlights from age and patina to the metals.

MEASUREMENTS:

It is 10mm wide at the face. It weighs 6.92 grams. The diamond is around 4.5mm so about .35 carat or more as the edges are hidden under the wide bezel. I would not remove the diamond from the piece for an exact measurement.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

The diamond is nice and bright / sparkly. I wouldn't remove it for exact weight but it is around 4.5mm so at least 0.35 carat. I can see two natural needle inclusions that carried up to the surface creating an indented natural inclusion. GIA defines this as a dent that occurs under the surface of a diamond as a result of the diamond cutter's decision not to polish it off, because doing so could end up harming the diamond so the cutters would work around it - this is not considered a defect or blemish but under strong magnification it looks like a frosty line right on the edge. Just being super picky, it is a fabulous piece. Wonderful color and sparkle! Certainly nothing eye visible. I don't see a single nick or flea bite to the diamonds even under magnification. Some surface wear and nicks to the beautiful gold notable due to the high shine glossy gold work. Sturdy, stackable, wearable, sparkly, buttery beautiful.

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 : )
