Hi, got this vintage buttercup diamond ring in a storage locker auction. I have been researching it the last 3 months but can't find another like it or the maker. It's 14k stamped inside no other markings. I think it's 1880's 1920's. Any info on it would be appreciated.

Try to get some better pics. Perhaps outside or by a window. Can’t really tell anything from these pics.

Ok, dont take this personally but your pictures are just awful!:)

Can you take it outside in the sunlight and get some photos. If your camera wont focus that close, move back a little so you can get some
shots in focus.

Is the ring white or yellow gold? If white gold, wouldn't date to the 1800's because white gold was introduced in 1917 by Belais Brothers.

It’s a cut or “pierced” look metal, but not what’s traditionally considered filigree.

Here’s a good article on traditional filigree work, with lots of pictures:

Hi, it does look like someone tried to shape each hole like the last. Or like it was pierced shaped maybe. Thanks, for the info.
