ABOUT:
A bright and sparkly eternity band - this antique beauty dates to the Edwardian era. It is crafted in platinum and set with 22 old cut single cut diamonds all the way around for a total carat weight of around 0.7 carat estimated.
Faint engravings remain on the vertical edges on each side, worn by time, so happy to find pieces like this knowing they were loved and enjoyed.
No hallmarks remain but sold to me from an antique jeweler as platinum.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
It is a size 6 1/4. It weighs 2.5 grams.
There are 22 diamonds, each measuring about 2mm. For a total estimated carat weight of around 0.7 carat. Depths vary and I would never remove them from the antique setting for an exact carat weight, so this is an estimate.
The band is 2.7mm wide north to the south on the finger all the way around and it stands 1.5mm tall off the finger.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note the measurements as they are not huge diamonds and the zoomed photos I am required to present sometimes make it look larger. But a beautiful sparkly stacker. Most of the prongs are quite good with four prongs holding each stone. There is a worn prong here or there to keep an eye on over time as the piece is in original condition. I don't typically recommend daily wear for any of my 100+ year old pieces. It is suitable as is for wear though, with none of the stones moving and all being surrounded on all sides, despite some being worn back from what they originally were. One prong is broken / missing but with no damage to the stone, just showing a tiny gap there under strong magnification.
There is a tiny scuff mark to the inside edge of the platinum in one spot, masked by the engravings, but under magnification it looks like a small seam or crease to the platinum there on the vertical edge. It may have been done in the fabrication of the piece as there does not appear to be any evidence of any alteration or fortification there at all on the top side or opposite edge.
The stones are well matching. Some faint frosty inclusions here and there but they are small stones so this is not really eye visible.
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 : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
