Selling an assortment of mostly antique, and a few vintage fine jewelry pieces. More new listings each week from my last inventory trip to Europe so please feel free to follow here or on Insta!
ABOUT:
One of my mega-est megas of all time ever! This extra chonky three stone band weighs almost 20g with thick 18k gold work leaving a substantial retro footprint and a gorgeous pop of color. Crazy hand feel - talk about a statement piece - this one is extra.
It is set with three stones - a center pale green tourmaline that has a gorgeous minty, seafoam color with domed top and disco ball facets. It is flanked by an oval pink sapphire on each side. I suspect the tourmaline may be synthetic but believe the pink sapphires to be natural (although probably treated like 95% of them are)? I don't remove my stones from their settings to send them off for testing as my items do well without paperwork so I just base the price on the extremely heavy gold weight and what I paid.
Such a fun color combo. It fits my small fingers so I like wearing it as a power pointer for its gorgeous glow and color but it would be stackable as well.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos, especially with the zoomed images that I am required to present for detail.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Size 6
Weight 19.7g
Ring face is 15mm north south by 7mm tall off the finger.
The green tourmaline is about 10mm square with cushioned corners. The pink sapphires are abut 7x5mm each.
About sizing: Most rings can be sized to an extent, usually they say 2 sizes is a good guide. For this one, I do think it would be best to discuss with the person doing the work. First due to the extra substantial shank. And Second for the way the stones are set into the shank.
This is not a fragile or delicate piece, it's just that opinions vary from jeweler to jeweler and with the diamond set into the ring face, it would help to get your local jewelers' feedback if that makes sense.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Some surface wear to the gold made notable by the mirrored shiny finish. The stones are in good condition with just a few flea bites to the tourmaline seen mostly under magnification. Overall, all three stones have a gorgeous sheen and polish. The center stone moves in the bezel and can click when you tap it or shake the piece aggressively but it is secure in the setting. No real damage aside from surface wear.
There are some natural inclusions to one of the sapphires but nothing glaring. The tourmaline is crystal clear.
Please also note that I take some photos / videos in the sunshine because it captures the lovely color and sparkle, but it also highlights any surface wear, scratches, abrasions, buildup or inclusions that can catch the light, making these things appear worse than they would with normal day to day wear. : ) Hopefully the pics in all lightning conditions help as they serve as part of the description.
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 : )
SOCIAL:
Please feel free watch @mouseshouseantiques on Instagram for inventory drops, sneak peaks and previews! And check out my website www.MousesHouseAntiques.com as I can add more pics there so you can get extra looks : )
All items hand picked by me, one at a time from all over the world. All listings individually written by me, and not AI, after studying each piece to discuss its beauties and its ; ) eccentricities (which I am picky to point out).
Many of my listings include group shots – I find the comparisons between pieces help show scale, diamond hues, etc. All items in group shots are inventory, but refer to the website to see what items have sold out and to watch for new listings from the grouping to appear on the home page.
