ABOUT:
Nice sized three opal ring with rose cut diamond spacers. The underside / gallery of the ring is ornately pierced holding the ring face up and adding a nice height. Substantial to wear alone but also an excellent stacker.
Antique box is not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
HALLMARKS:
UK Hallmarks for 18k gold, Birmingham, 1905.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size 7 1/4. Ring face is 7.7mm north south and about 5.3mm tall off the finger. It weighs a sturdy 3.7grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Some small nicks to the opals but overall nice sheen and polish and no cracks. The gold has some build up and a matte finish yellow gold in the recesses with a shinier rose gold on the raised areas. Typical antique rose cuts, some cloudy spots from age to the closed back, they almost always look this way.
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 glaring issues above and they are all still wearable. There are no dark spots to the gold, it was just difficult to photograph because it is so shiny and mirrored that it reflects its surroundings including the green trees out the window.
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 : )
