ABOUT:
Very lovely French 1800s Victorian rosary ring in 18k gold with a cross set with pearls applied at an angle to the ring face.
The shank has inset pearls around the sides giving it an almost medieval look like something you would see in a period piece movie. The raised stones 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.
Antique Box not included.
French hallmarks for 18k gold. Beautiful rich antique patina to the gold.
Please note the measurements as it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
A snug Size 5, Shank is 7mm north south at the face, the cross is 10mm. Its weight 1.9 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Some wear, patina to the pearls and build up around the base here and there.
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 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! : )
