Description

Soon to be listed on Etsy, I’m offering this lovely old beauty at a better price here and on Instagram first.

In 18K yellow gold, the ring features a super fiery Old Mine Cut Diamond Halo around a lovely blue sapphire. Deep blue enamel decorates the outer border, as well as the leafy designed shoulders. This ring has a major presence and finger coverage, with tremendous sparkle. I’m conservatively estimating the carat weight at around 3.55carats, as it’s not easy to get really precise depth measurements of the stones.

The diamonds are very white and fiery, with good clarity. They are approximately 3.8 x 3.8 mm to approximately 3.4 x 3.3 mm. I’m still working to get them really clean, as the ring came to me really filthy, but so far I would estimate their color to be in the H-I range of near colorless and they face up very white. All are eye-clean. With magnification I only see a couple of stones with small inclusions...they are very nice quality and in great condition. I don’t see any damages, though a few of the prongs need to be retipped.

The sapphire is a lovely violet- blue, measuring approximately 8.2 x 6.2mm. It has a few natural inclusions and light wear seen with magnification and looks great to the naked eye.

The beautiful enamel is also in good condition, with light wear and a little loss to one decorative shoulder. Engraving continues around the underside of the ring.

The face of the ring measures approximately 19 x 15.5 mm or a little over 3/4 of an inch x just under 5/8 of an inch. The band might have been replaced in the past, and is nice and sturdy with a seam at the back where it was previously sized. Currently around a size 6.5 it can be sized. The finished weight of the ring is a hefty 7.05 grams. It comes in a lovely antique French ring box or a new ring box if preferred.

I’ve posted a brief video on my Instagram in indoor lighting and will do one with outdoor lighting shortly. @franziska_vintage_jewels
