Antique French Emerald Anchor Ring with Rock Crystal & Inscription

Crafted of gold testing around 18K, with silver collets holding the diamonds, the ring features a rectangular table cut rock crystal backed by green foil to the center, flanked by super chunky rose cut diamonds. In wonderful condition, this ring dates to the late 1700's to the early 1800's. While the rock crystal shows some surface wear (mostly seen under magnification), the green foil still has wonderful glow that changes as you move the ring to different angles in the light. Measuring approximately 6.2 x 5.5 mm, the crystal is still held securely in its gold bezel. The foil also shows wear when viewed with magnification, but much of it remains and shows beautifully. The rayed ring "butt" is in very good condition. The two old rose cut diamonds create lovely contrast with their pretty sparkle. Very chunky with a high dome, they measure approximately 4.6 x 3.2 and 4.6 x 3.5 mm, respectively, including their silver settings. They remain in very good condition with no damage; I see a few tiny inclusions in one diamond with magnification, otherwise they are very clean. There is a little warmth to their color due to their closed back (likely foiled) settings. The silver collets show a little expected wear, but also remain in good condition for their age. Dainty and elegant on the hand, the face of the ring measures approximately 14.8 x 5.5 mm, with an approximate 4.34 mm rise off the finger. Tapering very slightly, the band measures approximately 2.4 mm at the shoulders and approximately 1.51 mm at the very back and is a bit oval in shape. There are no hallmarks, which is to be expected. On my scale the ring weighs 1.97 grams. Smaller on a mandrel due to its shape, the ring fits me like a size 5.25, though might fit you a little differently depending upon the shape of your finger/knuckles. It could be sized up or down within reason by a skilled jeweler with experience in antique jewelry. Please note that foiled jewelry...
