ABOUT:
Fun geometric French antique stacker ring in 18k gold with beautiful coloring. The band has alternating pinkish red rubies and green emeralds across the top making this half hoop a colorful addition as a stacker.
Antique box is not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
HALLMARKS:
No hallmarks remain which is common for French pieces as they are marked in the back and often lost during a sizing or from wear. But sold to me from a reputable source in France where the standard is 18k and tested to confirm.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size 5 3/4. The ring face is 4.5mm north south. It weighs 3.1 gram.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
The ring has seams at each shoulder that have a slightly different hue to the gold patina, I assume this was from a sizing. On one side it is not as smooth and you can see the uneven gold solder but it was polished, it just leaves a rippled appearance on the sides of the shank with the different hue. The stones have some nicks and abrasions as we typically see for pieces of this age but still a nice sheen and color overall.
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 : )
