ABOUT:
Lovely color to this garnet which is a purplish red color like a ripe berry. The nice size stone sits amidst openwork filigree details with what looks like a three leaf clover on each vertical edge of the ring face.
Antique piece from the Art Deco period, it is stamped PAT. Ko 14 (with the rest of the 14k stamp worn.)
Antique box is not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size: 6 1/4
Weight: 3.4g
Ring face measurement: 12mm
Height off the finger: 5mm
Garnet: 7mm / at least 1 1/4 carat.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Just a few tiny nibbles to the garnet and I noticed when photographing it, the surface can show a sort of rainbow iridescence in some light when the facets catch the light a certain way. I am not sure what the cause of this is. Perhaps some application of heat created it? The ring is in nice condition with beautiful gold work, a lovely color to the stone and just a few tiny nibbles to the table facets seen mostly under magnification.
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 : )
