Victorian Antique TURQUOISE Pearl Letter P d Initial Ring French 18k Silver Blue Green Letter Monogram Signet

ABOUT:

I wish my name was Patricia! or Paige or Paula! I first saw a ring like this in the collection of one of my Instagram jewelry friends a few years ago. I was excited to find a similar one but I wish it had my letter on it!

Fun antique initial ring with domed navette top encrusted with varying hues of turquoise in the background. Found in France, this antique piece is from the Victorian era. The letter P (or you could flip it and call it a lower case d : ) has it's own bezel and is set with contrasting pearls.

The ring face is crafted in silver and the shank is in rosy 18k gold. French hallmarks for both on the back of the shank.

Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures. Antique box not included.

SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
It is currently a size 7, a little over. The ring face 23mm north south by 11mm. It is 6.5mm tall off the finger with the domed top. It weighs 4.7g.

CONDITION NOTES:

Two pearls appear to be replacements with one doming up a bit higher than the others. They are a brighter color and I can see some clear adhesive residue around the bases. There is also some discolored adhesive around one of the turquoise in the bottom right corner. We see this on pearl and turquoise pieces which are often set with adhesive originally, which wears and are then reset. There is quite a bit of build up between the stones but I did not want to soak it with the stones being what they are. Some of the original pearls have warm patina and wear to the layers. It is still a very fun, colorful and striking antique piece to wear, but if you study it, especially under magnification you can see the residue. Some nicks and shallow flakes of loss to some of the turquoise as well but they still appear round and fill the setting as seen in the pics.

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 : )
