Pre-owned Vintage Estate Art Deco ring featuring a mystery yellow stone in 14k gold. Too intensely yellow to be a citrine I had thought perhaps lemon quartz. But the sparkle factor and occasional green and orange flashes has me suspecting Sphene! Sphene is a very collectable stone prized for its diamond like sparkle. This is my best guess but I don't know for sure. The stone is an old european cut with a open culet and high crown with a small table. My favorite cut. The stone is 8mm round so equivalent to a 2 carat diamond size. The shoulders are very typically Art Deco style with the round stone in a square shaped head with faux baguette sides. The top and baguettes are in white gold, the band is in 14k yellow gold. Really nicely done. In my super magnified photos you can see slight wear to the top facets but to the naked eye she still looks great and ready to be enjoyed for another 100 years. Checked over by my jeweler this ring is in good pre-owned condition and ready for a new owner. Please note that this ring was sized sometime in the past - I have circled the area in my photo. The band is wearable but thin. Finger size is bigger than 4.75 and smaller than 5 and sizeable. If you need to have this ring sized larger gold will need to be added to it. This is easily done by a bench jeweler just be aware that this band can not be stretched larger. I would recommend Ivy and Rose in Chicago for reasonably priced sizing I send all my rings to them because the price can't be beat even with mailing. Price includes shipping within the US.
