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 rectangular emerald cut Amethyst ring from the Victorian / Art Nouveau era. This piece is in 14k gold with a beautiful wide band all the way around and engraved banded shoulders. Pretty rosy gold band and then the gemstone is inset with an intaglio flower highlighted in gold with an old cut diamond chip in the center of the flower for added sparkle.
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 7 1/2. The band is wide all the way around which I believe can make these fit a bit more snugly. The stone is 15mm by 7mm, I was told it is about 5 carats.
CONDITION NOTES:
All my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. There is a darker part of the intaglio that is carved deeper than the flower, it almost looks like a bird perched next to the flowers but it is very thin so perhaps it was meant to be another leaf? But it is tinted black, not gold. The top face of the stone has a few nicks seen only under magnification and some scuffs and surface wear to the facet edges. The piece was sized so there is evidence of that on the back of the wide band. The banded shoulders look wonderful. 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! : )
