| A touch of history ... Late Victorian ring with rose cut diamonds, ruby and real orient seed pearls. In our everlasting quest to find fresh antique jewelry we stumbled upon a real treasure. A jeweler's stock that has been in the family vaults for over 80 years. It is not often that we find jewelry that has been "trapped" in a time capsule. All jewelry in this stock was brand new when it was stored decades ago and besides a little dusting off we didn't have to do anything to offer it in its original splendour. This is as close to "brand new antique jewelry" as it can get. Object group: rings Country of origin: Although it does not carry any legible control marks we believe it is of Belgian origin. Style: Victorian - (styles overview) Period: ca. 1900 (events and facts in 1900) Material: 18K bi-color (yellow and white) gold, although most of this jewel is in yellow gold, the diamonds are set in white gold. This finds it origin in a much older period where it was common for diamonds to be set in silver (see explanation on silver on gold). - (precious metals) Diamonds: Two senailles. A senaille is a simplified rose cut diamond, a small diamond chip with perhaps a few polished facets. We do not have the weight of these diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to senailles. Precious stones: One natural ruby and two seed pearls - (precious stones) Birthstones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April, ruby for July and pearl for June. - (general birthstones explanation) Hallmarks: "18" indicating 18K gold - (general hallmarks info) Condition: excellent condition - (our condition scale) Weight: 1.80 gram (1.16 dwt) Ring size Continental: 56 & 17¾ , Size US 7½ , Size UK: O½ | ||
