    ABOUT:
    One of the most attention grabbing pieces I've held in my hands - this substantial rose cut and old European cut diamond ring measures an inch from point to point so it really covers a large section of the finger.  Beautiful asymmetrical / curved navette design with three bezel set old European cut diamonds in the center, with the swirled part and shoulders encrusted with 30 additional rose cut diamonds.  33 diamonds total! They really catch the light and add glitter.  I love the two little fan shaped bezels holding a rose cut diamond, one in each corner between the ring shoulder and the extending swirl - just an interesting additional little detail.
    I believe the piece to be Art Nouveau to Art Deco era, but it could be an older 1800s piece.
    The back of the ring face and the shank is in 14k rosy gold and the top of the ring face tested as Platinum.
    The hallmark is worn from age and illegible, it now just looks like little spots inside the band, but it appears to have been a longer length so it likely had a gold and "PLAT" stamp at one time, but I can't make it out.  But it is tested and confirmed 14k and Platinum. Ring shank has a beautiful antique gold patina that is rosy in some light.  All diamonds tested with a Presidium Gem Tester.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    Ring is currently size 10.   The ring face is one inch from point to point and the ring face is a little over 3/4 inch wide when you measure shoulder to shoulder with a caliper.  The largest center diamond is about 2.5mm in diameter, with the two flanking it about 2mm.
    SIZING:
    Because it is a larger sized ring, I would recommend speaking to your local jeweler to see how much this could be sized, as everyone's skill level and opinions are different.  You might even be able to send photos over email to your jeweler for feedback?  My jeweler takes 2 months to complete jobs so unfortunately I am not able to offer sizing at this time.
    IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
    Please note that all my pieces are in estate condition, especially considering age of 100 years.  All diamonds are present and are held securely.  There is a tiny crease on the inside of the shank where the ring shoulder attached to the shank when it was made, only visible under magnification but you can feel it slightly with your fingernail.  The two points are sharp and curve upward just slightly so I would definitely recommend gentle wear.  The smaller rose cut diamonds are rougher cut, some have more matte finish facets (rather than polished), some are more jagged, some small inclusions.  Under magnification about 5 of them look like they might have a nick or chip, but as they were cut by hand in the old method, they may have always been that way.  None of this is really noticeable with normal wear, the ring presents beautifully, but just being extra picky with what I see under magnification.  I took a photo with a loupe with high magnification so hopefully that will help you get a visual.
    These old diamonds while imperfect were meant to sparkle in the low light of the fireside and candlelight.  This is a beauty in any light!  Band is Still perfectly shaped.  A few shallow nicks and surface wear to the band from age.  Still a fantastic piece with sparkling diamond cluster that is very eye catching.
    But of course due to age - Please note this piece is not in mint condition. As with all antique jewelry, please handle these old rings with care and very gentle wear.  Will be sent with insurance and signature confirmation upon delivery at my cost.
    Thanks for stopping by!
