Description

Delicate antique buttercup setting holds an old mine cut (OMC) diamond. I was told the ring was found with a few others tucked inside of a wool sock, behind a wall in an 1880s home that was being remodeled. Whether or not that's true, it does stir the imagination.

The ring is a size 5, and I wouldn't recommend sizing it up unless the jeweler replaces part of the shank, as a section of it is thin. Sizing down would be fine, and it's certainly wearable as is. The stone is lightly warm in color, about a third of a carat, the best kind of chunky, and eye- and loupe-clean.

Asking $395; insured shipping to a U.S. address is included in the price. Email me via LT or at limezinnia at icloud-dot-com. Thanks for looking!
