Ornate 1 Carat Daisy Cluster Old Mine Cut DIAMOND Ring Victorian Antique 18k Gold Scrolled Band Stacker
Ornate 1 Carat Daisy Cluster Old Mine Cut DIAMOND Ring Victorian Antique 18k Gold Scrolled Band Stacker
ABOUT:
The sweetest Victorian era antique daisy cluster ring totaling around 1 carat in antique diamonds. The ornate scrolled details at the shoulder add such a nice antique look to the piece. Makes a beautiful stacker or a minimalist statement worn alone.
Found in England. No hallmarks remain which is common as it appear they were lost during as sizing at the back, but tests at 18k. Gorgeous, warm antique patina.
Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures. Antique box is not included.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size: 8
The center diamond is about 5mm and about half a carat. The eight outlining diamonds are about 2.5mm each give or take. I do not remove the stones from the setting for exact carat weight but estimates to around 1 carat total weight in diamonds.
Ring face 9.3mm north south.
Height off finger: 5mm tall.
Weight: 2.9g.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Prongs are in good shape for the center stone, with a little wear to the setting of the outlining diamonds as expected for age. No stones move.
The center largest stone has one indented natural inclusions at the edge surface off the table that looks like a tiny crease. GIA defines this as a dent that occurs under the surface of a diamond as a result of the diamond cutter's decision not to polish it off, because doing so could end up harming the diamond so the cutters would work around it - this is not considered a defect or blemish. It is slightly eye visible.
For the other smaller stones - Typical antique diamonds with natural inclusions, a little nibble, or a tiny frosty spot here and there to the old cut stones. Again, mostly seen under magnification since they are small diamonds. One of the outside stones appears a bit frosty when studying it through with magnification. These are the old hand cut stones that provide a beautiful sparkle and that great antique look.
The center stone is nice and white, bit of warmth to gray on the outlining stones, two that you can seek out.
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 : )
