Description: Thank you for viewing this beautiful antique Edwardian 1900's diamond and emerald moi et toi gold ring. The ring has an unusual slightly curved design rather that a straight north south look. The ring contains one Old European cut diamond weighing approximately 1/3 of a carat. The diamond is approximately K color and VS clarity. There are an additional 17 diamonds weighting approximately .15 carats. There is a genuine emerald measuring approximately 4.2mm. The ring size is 8.25. The weight of the ring is 2.7 grams. The rings shank tests with acid as 14k. However often times antique rings were repaired or sized. This could alter the gold content to perhaps 13k or 15k. It's believed the top portion of the ring that is white is platinum although that is an educated conclusion not to be taken as fact. If it is platinum it's most likely 900 purity. Please expect wear on metal and stone surfaces consistent with the age of the ring. The ring comes with an attractive gift box. An important thing to mention regarding condition descriptions of antique and vintage jewelry is its judgement criteria which is very different than that applied to modern jewelry. The expectation for modern jewelry classified as being in "excellent' condition is an item that is possibly high polished and in close to new condition. Antique and vintage jewelry is never supposed to be polished. In fact, polishing antique jewelry can actually diminish its value and appeal. Therefore, patina, mild surface scratches, bruises, nicks and other indications of age can, and depending on the degree, should be present in antique jewelry classified as being in excellent condition. The more important condition factors to consider in antique jewelry is the integrity of the its structure and its design features such as migraine, setting work, engraving, filigree work, etc. If a new look with an antique design is what you're looking for, reproduction jewelry might be an option worth considering. As with all of our listings this ring was carefully inspected to insure quality control and authenticity.
