Selling a vintage 1920's platinum old european cut ring. The center stone is approx 1.15ctw. I bought the ring with the stone already set.
Stone is estimated at a K color and SI1 clarity. Measures at 6.8x7.05mm so has good spread. Depth is approx 4.15mm. There's a 'natural' inclusion on the bottom of the stone which is the primary inclusion but otherwise the stone is very inclusion-clean. It may even be better than a SI1, but I prefer to be conservative. My local appraiser estimated it as a GIA K, but EGL may grade it whiter.
This is a beautiful vintage stone in an original setting from the early 1900's. It's 3.5g of platinum and very finely wrought with visible detailing. The entire underside of the ring is open. The stone exhibits the flower pattern in the center, with a higher crown and small table reminiscent of older OEC's. The culet is small. The stone is VERY lively, and very fiery. It is easily one of the most lively OEC's I have seen. The pictures tell it all. To me this stone is quite white..and the facets light up uniformly in lighting. I have H, J and M OEC's and this is right in between the J and M but faces up whiter in the setting.
Ring size is 5, but I wear a 5.75 and can put it on, because the underside is open it will allow a bit of sizing flexibility for a finger. It also can be sized by your local jeweler.
Price is $3750 and buyer also pays $20 insured next day shipping. Please ask me any questions. This sale is final. I'm a long term member of Pricescope and have sold many items with no issues.
