Description
I am selling a collection of antique gold and gemstone rings, solitaires, stackers, etc., some examples seen in the last photo, so please see my other offerings and thanks for stopping by! : )ABOUT:
Beautiful large cushion (?) cut Amethyst ring from the Jugendstil / Art Nouveau era. This piece is in 14k gold with a beautiful split shank that has engraved banded shoulders that are rose gold as an accent against the yellow gold band. I'm not sure what the name of the stone cut is, it looks somewhat emerald cut but rounded on the top and bottom like a cushion cut.
This is an antique piece that I acquired in Europe. The hallmarks have worn away in the band but it tested at 14k for me, and was also listed as such by the jeweler I purchased it from. Absolutely not plated or gold filled.
Antique box is not included.
MEASUREMENTS:
Currently measures a size 10 3/4. Almost a size 11 but not quite. The stone is about 9mm by 10mm. It weighs 3.65 grams.
CONDITION NOTES:
All my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. There is a fairly deep scratch on the back / underside of the stone. The stone is very clear so in some light when you are wearing it, you can see through the stone to the scratch underneath if it catches the light. It is a bit of a squiggle, almost looks like a hair. You should be able to see it in the photos. The top face of the stone has a few nicks seen only under magnification and some surface wear. The banded shoulders have a ripple / curve on the end band of each side because it is fairly delicate in that area with the strips of gold. Just being overly picky, it is a beautiful piece. Surface wear and light scratches from use and wear to the gold band commensurate with age.
Sweet piece from a very special era.
I enjoy making my customers happy and matching unique pieces with new homes. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! It means a lot to me that you are visiting my store! : )
