Description

Currently a size 8, this beautiful platinum band from the Edwardian or Art Deco period contains approximately three quarters of a carat of colorless, VS-quality diamonds. Each stone measures as weighing .015 points, and there are exactly 50 stones ... calculator says .75 precisely! It's a skinny band at 1.7mm, but for something that's probably around 100 years old, it shows little wear, and can be enjoyed without babying. The condition is basically mint: no visible dipping of the channels, just the slight patina characteristic of platinum on its sides (which could be easily polished away).

This band features a small sizing band of approximately 5mm: on the basis of work I've had done on either pieces, I'd guesstimate that a talented jeweler with a laser could bring it down by half a to three quarters of a size if needed (though better if it's not needed!), and, of course, there's always the possibility of sizing pads.

$1700 is the asking price, and please, ask me absolutely anything your heart desires if you're interested! I had this shipped out from a dealer I used to know in California and dithered about it until the return period had passed, but, alas, I probably *don't* need flanking french cut thumb rings (which, yes, does mean that it has a slightly larger friend in a size 9, same width, no sizing band, to be listed momentarily on its own page)). Asking what I paid, hoping for a quick sale! These are mostly macro shots to show that perfect delicate faceting, planning to post some artier perspective shots tomorrow ....
