ABOUT:
Very lovely French 1800s Victorian rosary ring in 18k gold with an oval lozenge face set with black enamel cross design.
The shank has raised rivets around all sides giving it an almost medieval look like something you would see in a period piece movie. The rivets are intentional to the Rosary / Hail Marys so the wearer could run their finger along them while praying and meditating. Makes a striking and unique stacker with a great antique appearance.
French hallmarks for 18k Gold.
Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pics. Antique boxes, props, staircases and bannisters ; ) not included.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size 8 1/4 The ring face Is 10mm north south, the piece weighs 1.3g.
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 : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
