Antique Rose Cut Garnet & Green Paste Gold Ring with Hand Engraving

Far more beautiful than I can capture in my photos, this striking Victorian three stone ring features a rich, glowing "gemmy" natural emerald, between two extremely fiery, chunky old...

Offered is a vintage, heavy 18K gold French ring with a large, sparkly square step cut diamond center, and old European cut diamond shoulders. Elegant hand engraving adorns each side of the ring, with the center stone set off by platinum. The estimated total carat weight is approximately 1.73 carats; French hallmarks remain on the outside of the band. This is a striking and substantial ring that I think works equally well on a woman or a man. It's strong, geometric setting makes it eye-catching without being fussy. Measuring approximately 6.8 x 6.5 mm the prong-set step cut diamond center stone is estimated to be approximately 1.25 (perhaps as much as 1.35 carats), though its setting makes it appear even larger. With near-colorless color judged to be in the H-I-J range, the diamond is bright and faces up quite white. It does have inclusions, including dark carbon, though most inclusions are visible with magnification. I can see a few with my naked eye, but they aren't distracting to me, and aren't easy to see when the ring is on the hand. There is a little wear to the girdle of the stone seen with magnification - some tiny nibbles along the outer edge. I'm very picky about diamonds, but I love this ring even with the imperfect stone. It would also be possible to replace the center with another diamond or a beautiful colored gem, if desired. Each shoulder has three sparkling graduated old European cut diamonds, for another estimated .48 carats, or so. Chunky and very fiery with open culets, these diamonds are also in the near-colorless range and are clean to the naked eye. Under magnification I see a few small imperfections in some stones. With a major presence on the finger, the face measures approximately 18 x 9.91 mm, including the upper shoulders. The rise off the finger is approximatley 5.62 mm to the table of the central diamond. The shoulders taper gradually from approximately 9.6 mm down...

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...
