Victorian Elegance

Truly extraordinary is the only narrative description that adequately describes this late 1890's Victorian creation.

Crafted in 14-K yellow gold with a  white gold top plate and white gold side ornamentations, that are engraved with the "scrolls and leaf patters" that identify the typical Victorian-motif. The ring is in pristine condition and was probably worn on special occasions (thus its exceptional condition). At some later period of time a Finger-Fit "adjustable-shank" (For arthritic knuckles) was added to this ring, thus allowing this size 5 ring to "Open larger" to a size 7-1/2 or 8, pass over the larger knuckle then re-close back down to a finger size 5 (See the additional pictures). The marquise-shape top is 15.83 m/m long X 7.20 m/m wide (5/8" X 5/16"), finger size 5 when close, with a gross weight of 4.3 grams.

Even if you have no need for such a "Adjustable-Shank", you can simply wear the ring as it is (size 5 when closed).

What makes this beautiful antique ring so exceptional, is  the extraordinary 5 m/m "Near Kashmir-Color Sapphire", with its striking blue color and brilliance, this natural, un-treated gemstone separates its self from the typical mundane dark sapphires that are typically seen today's modern production-jewelry.

Vintage quality and reasonably priced, are two key factors with this circa 1950's diamond ring.

Crafted in 14-K white gold, this quality ring can be utilized in two ways. Though it was designed with three rows of diamonds, it appears at the first glance as a engagement ring with a insert ring on each side (though it is all one ring).

Though nearly 60 years old, its condition is excellent and it will serve its new owner for another 40 to 50 years. In the center is a round full cut .40 ct. diamond, SI grade, H color, then on each side are two .06 ct. round full-cut diamonds, then there are two .02 ct. single-cut diamonds.
