ABOUT:
A unique cruciform ring with a tall faceted onyx dome with old mine cut diamonds at each corner. Always fun to find that this one has a detailed scalloped ring butt / booty as we say in the trade, where the back inside the ring face is scalloped. This was sold to me as an onyx, but I don't have a test to verify that. Under lit magnification I can see some grayish natural variations to the stone but while wearing it appears dark black. Rising tall of the finger with unique geometric faceting.
No hallmarks remain but tests at 14k gold.
Adds a wonderful geometry and bold dark color to a ring stack.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
The ring is a size 6 1/2. The piece weighs 3.6g. The ring face is 7.3mm tall off the finger. The diamonds are about 2.3mm each.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Typical antique diamonds with faint natural inclusions but the stones are small. A worn prong here or there to keep an eye on over time.
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 : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
