ABOUT:
A versatile stacker with a nice geometry. This vintage 14k gold band has a slightly raised bezel at the center holding a square princess cut diamond.
I purchased this in France, the French Riviera to be exact, on a recent inventory trip but this one actually originates in Austria. It bears their hallmark along with the French hallmark for 14k gold and the 585 stamp inside (numerical hallmarking system used in Europe for 14k gold.)
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size 5 1/4.
The ring face is 4.8mm north south. The diamond is about 3mm square.
The ring weight is 3.2 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Two corners have some nibbles leaving a frosty finish on the edge but this is seen only under magnification as it is hidden right up against the bezel. The stone is complete and still fills the bezel entirely so it is not major loss, rather small slivers / flakes of loss to the surface.
There are no dark spots to the gold, it was just difficult to photograph because the gold reflects its surroundings. Please also note that I take some photos / videos in the sunshine because it captures the lovely color and sparkle, but it also highlights any surface wear, scratches, abrasions, buildup or inclusions that can catch the light, making these things appear worse than they would with normal day to day wear. : ) Hopefully the pics in all lightning conditions help as they serve as part of the description.
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. : ) 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 : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
