Description

I bought this ring at auction and while it is super pretty with great style and lovely on the hand, the center diamond is too included for my picky sensibilities.

It's 18K white gold with a rhodium finish, currently a sizable size 7.5 ish - it registers more like a size 7 on a mandrel, but the style makes it fit more loosely.

Center stone is estimated at approximately .85 carats (6.2 mm) with the 18 accent diamonds, estimated at approximately 1.22 carats total weight. Great octagonal shape to the face.

The center stone is very fiery and has good near-colorless color but does have inclusions putting it in the I range for clarity - mostly white/clear and a few teeny tiny specks of dark carbon. One white/clear inclusion can be seen with my naked eye, though it blends in fairly well given it's not dark in color. (it's even hard to see in my macro photos because it blends in a lot with the color of the diamond - I have not edited out any inclusions in the photos) Part of the inclusion does reach or almost reach the surface. So, if you are a stickler for excellent clarity, this will not be the diamond for you.

The baguettes have well matched color and SI range eye-clean clarity, while the small round brilliants are also eye clean and near-colorless with some small inclusions in some stones that I can only see with a loupe.

The settings look to be in good shape, with the bead settings on the graduated stones of the shoulders showing more wear. (I think three of them should be retipped soon)

Inside the band is a mark for 18K, and the ring weighs 3.65 grams.

I'm offering it for less than I paid, so might negotiate a little on price but not much. Insured Shipping at cost and payment by venmo or zelle preferred, paypal ok with their fees added. Three day return period, if ring is returned in original condition. Please message with any questions.
