This ring came to me because I was interested in the diamond it originally held. It is a beautiful, delicate, romantic ring. I would keep it, but I need funds for another project!
This beautiful floral design setting is made of 14k gold and has 17 clean, bright, single cut diamonds set into its curls. The diamonds range in size between 1 and 2 mm in diameter, or 2 – 3 points each, depending where in the design they are placed. My estimate is about 0.35cttw., but it could be more or less. The diamonds are bead-set into the design. My jeweler thinks the beads are in very good shape save two on the endmost diamond (see photo) which should be redone to maintain the security of the stone.
The face and shoulders of the ring measure approximately 12 x 15 mm and the rise off the finger is approximately 5 mm at it's highest point. The shank is in very good shape, approximately 2mm thick and wide tapering to 1.7mm thick and wide on the palm side. It has a slight knife edge. The ring is a size 3.5. A skilled jeweler could resize the ring to most sizes.
The original ring has been altered to hold a single larger stone in the center of its design. The basket did hold a 5.65mm stone, but it did not look good in the mount and did not fit the basket. The basket is made to hold a stone about 4mm to 4.5mm in diameter. Pictured is a 4mm placeholder to give you a sense of scale. The prongs will need to be cut down and reshaped/repaired to set your own smaller stone. I believe the ring could hold a stone up to about 5mm if the current basket is removed and a slightly larger one put in place, but you would need to confirm this with your own jeweler. Again, these are not problems for a skilled bench, and I discussed them with my own local jeweler. I do not recommend buying this ring unless you have a relationship with a skilled local jeweler
I think the ring is worth the TLC and would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
