ABOUT:
A unique French vintage stacker with six transitional and old European cut diamonds measuring .84 carat total weight in a raised bezel settings. The diamonds vary in size giving the piece an organic feel since they are not all uniform. Crafted in glowing 18k solid gold. Nice geometry, bright white color and sparkle.
I could actually see this one in a wedding set. It layers really well but is substantial and interesting to wear alone. It is a vintage ring that was possibly designed to incorporate older diamonds that may have been from granny's ring or a passed down family piece? But certainly a timeless and wearable piece!
French hallmarks for 18k gold with goldsmith stamp.
Antique box is not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
MEASUREMENTS:
Size: 6 1/2, a little snug
Weight: 3.4g
north south measurement: 5.7mm
depth / Height off the finger: 2.8mm
The two largest diamonds are about 4mm, with two at 3.2mm and two at 2mm. I would not remove the stones from the setting for an exact carat weight but estimates to around 0.84 carat in diamonds.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
No damage to any of the stones or setting. Some faint frosty or speck inclusions seen mostly under magnification. Assumed to be a custom made piece.
Surface wear as expected. There are no dark or green or discolored spots to the gold, it's just the gold that reflects its surroundings including trees outside the window.
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 : )
