I am selling an assortment of antique jewelry which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world. Please see my other offerings - thanks for stopping by!
ABOUT:
This is a fun one to wear with the bright white sparkle of the 17 old cut diamonds. Some are old mine cut, several are old European cut and 2 are older brilliant cuts with the more intricate faceting but still with the frosted girdle showing they weren't cut using modern methods.
My dealer friend and I were chatting about this one and wondered if someone took a full eternity band, halved it and layered it to make the double row ring because you can see some tool marks inside each shoulder and the ring face appears as two separate bands that are now connected at the shoulders.
I love the way they tucked the two diamond bands together so the stones alternate instead of being in perfect north south lines. It's pretty fun! And it's a supper stable and sturdy with excellent prongs ready for daily wear.
No hallmarks remain but tests at 14k white gold.
I love it in a mixed metal stack with a gold band or can go with really any other color metal.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
It is a size 5 1/2. It weighs 5.45 grams.
Ring face is 7.2mm north south.
It stands 3mm tall off the finger.
The diamonds are each about 3.2mm so just using estimates by milimeter (I can't measure the depths of the stones without removing them and ruining the piece), it is at least 2 1/4 carats, probably closer to 2.4 carat total weight in diamonds.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
A few frosty spots, mostly just from hard to reach buildup behind the stones. One end stone has a surface reaching inclusion with a small vein of carbon and some nibbles to the girdle. Another has a shallow flake of loss. As mentioned two stones are later brilliant cuts. No glaring inclusions and no real condition issues, it is quite striking to wear. And Ready for regular wear.
Please also note that I take some photos / videos in the sunshine because it captures the lovely color and sparkle, but it also highlights any surface wear, scratches, abrasions, buildup or inclusions that can catch the light, making these things appear worse than they would with normal day to day wear. : ) Hopefully the pics in all lightning conditions help as they serve as part of the description.
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 : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
