THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Ring
Materials: 18k Gold, Ruby, Diamond
Size: 10
Era: Victorian (1837-1901)
ABOUT:
Victorian ornate ring with center ruby surrounded by a halo of rose cut diamonds. Beautiful scrolled design shoulders. Pretty coloring and lovely stacker.
The stamp is interrupted and I can't decipher it. Tests at 18k. Gold has a warm antique patina.
Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and the pictures can make it difficult to see scale. Antique box is not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Size 10. The ruby is 4.5mm. Weight is 2.8 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Typical old rose cut diamonds, they are small like rough cut shards with some nicks and frosty edges, meant to add a glint of sparkle.
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 : )
