ABOUT:
A fun figural owl ring. This one is vintage, not antique, but such a fun and chunky piece that actually still stacks well with other pieces. Found in England, it is hallmarked with the numerical 750 hallmark for 18k gold and is also stamped 18CT. There is an assay mark and date stamp but I couldn't make it out, the assay stamp isn't any of the British ones I am familiar with so I am not sure where it was made. It also has an initials maker's mark.
The area around the ruby eyes is topped in white gold and set with diamonds for a two tone sparkle with a pop of color.
Owls are considered a symbol of wealth, prosperity, wisdom, good luck, and fortune. If it were me, I'd definitely cling to the reminder to practice wisdom : )
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:
Currently measures a size 8 1/4. It weighs a 4.3 grams. Ring face is 12mm north to south.
CONDITION NOTES:
In nice vintage condition with no notable damage except for a bit of surface wear to the ruby eyes and the sleek and glowing gold work.
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 : )
Very sweet piece from a very special era. 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! : )
