About the Item

A rare, beautiful and magical Stuart Crystal Ring set in 15 Kt gold and backed in sterling silver. Before I say more please understand that none of the impurities shown in the photographs are visible to the eye. Photography sees deeply behind the surface of a jewel where the eye would never travel. The ring is perfect with no impurities . The silver cushion back behind the crystal is unpolished. I have left it thus as I like the frame it creates that accents the crystal. The crystal is step faceted around the edge. There is the cypher at center in gold thread. Stuart Crystals are the precursor to memorial rings and indeed they were memorial jewelry. They were made in support of King Charles the first who was murdered in 1649. This ring dates to c. 1740. Excellent condition considering its age. Size 6 1/4. Can be sized by a master jeweler only.
