Dainty Antique Turquoise Diamond Halo Ring with Fiery Old Mine Cut Diamonds

About the Item

I’m pleased to offer a lovely, dainty and sparkly Victorian Persian Turquoise Diamond ring found in a New England estate. Finely crafted of 14K yellow gold, the ring features a vividly colored turquoise cabochon surrounded by a diamond halo consisting of 11 small, super fiery old mine cut diamonds, set in a crown style setting. In wonderful original condition, I estimate the total carat weight to be approximately .44 carats. Please note that dark areas in the photos are reflections in the diamonds. Measuring approximately 6 mm in diameter, the central Persian Turquoise cabochon is such a beautiful rich shade of sky blue meets robin's egg blue - with consistent color and a nicely polished surface. (please note that your screen might display the color a little differently than mine) I see only the slightest superficial wear under magnification - it remains in very good condition. Its prongs show a little expected wear - one needs to be replaced. All original to the ring, the diamonds are lovely quality old mine cuts - chunky and sparkly with open culets. Each diamond measures approximately 2.2 - 2 mm, with a total estimated carat weight of approximately .44 carats. Bright and white, they have good clarity both to the naked eye and under the loupe; I see no damage - they remain in beautiful condition. Their prongs do show some expected wear. I would keep an eye on them and have them retipped at some time in the not too distant future. Elegant and dainty on the hand (and colorful and sparkly), the face measures approximately 10 mm or a little over 3/8 of an inch; the rise off the finger is approximately 6.8 mm at its highest point. (the top of the turquoise cabochon) The band remains in very good condition and is quite sturdy for a ring of this period. At the shoulders it measures approximately 2.81 mm and tapers gently to 1.82 mm at the very back. I see very slight signs at the back that it was once sized. An original mark of "14K" is present. On my scale, the ring's finished weight is 3.48 grams. Currently fitting a size 5.75 to 6, it can be sized up or down within reason by a good jeweler. (if it's a good size jump up in size, I would expect more gold to be added at the back to keep it as sturdy as it is now)
