I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world, including several stackable bands.
ABOUT:
Another unique stackable band! This one with floral and shield details that are engraved and alternate with the lovely pop of color from the turquoise!
Each of the turquoise clusters are in groups of four, I assume to carry on the floral theme and probably represent little forget me not flowers.
I love the scalloped north and south edges, again with so many design elements.
Found in the UK, no hallmarks remain. Tests at 18k gold.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos, especially with the zoomed images that I am required to present for detail.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Size 5, just a little over. Weighs 1.85 grams.
4mm north south.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
The turquoise vary in colors which I actually love and expect to find on antiques because they patina from contact over 125+ years. Some are a more olive green. Others are still robin egg blue. Some may be beads. These would have been originally fabricated using adhesive to hold them so that is still the case. I don't recommend heavy wear or soaking for that reason. Some adhesive residue under magnification and some stones with loss from coming into contact with surfaces the way the design runs all the way around. Four of them have nicks and edges of loss or a hairline crack, one has a loss to the top of the stone leaving an unpolished disk of turquoise that still fills the space but doesn't have the sheen. It's beautiful to wear but you should be able to pick these things out in the 20x zoom photos which will accentuate it more for you.
This isn't a comfort fit so the gold is not rounded, the edge can feel a bit edgy but that is just how it was made. I don't find it uncomfortable to wear in the list and stacking always helps this, but maybe wouldn't want to wear it too tightly on a finger if one is concerned with how it feels on the finger.
It's a special and unique antique!
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 : )
