ABOUT:
A beautiful Art Nouveau French 18k gold ring with a figural flower garland design set with a wonderful pink ruby - expected as a synthetic corundum as it was a very popular choice for the period. Buttery gold patina and the most lovely coloring with the stone. The top and bottom of the halo have a little forget me not flower.
Found in France with their hallmark for 18k. Really crisp and beautiful detail to the floral designs. It is so ornate!
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
MEASUREMENTS:
Currently measures a size 6 1/4. Weighs 2.8 grams. The ruby is about 8x5mm.
CONDITION NOTES:
The stone moves slightly in the setting but does not come free as the bezel is secure. There is a small chip to the culet from the stone protruding just slightly from the back of the setting but it is not visible while wearing and I did not find it uncomfortable to wear. Some small nibbles and abrasions to the crown facets but overall a lovely color and sheen.
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! : )
