Description
This is a gorgeous presentation dated 1895 late Victorian to early Edwardian long navette ring in solid 14K rose gold with original, natural rose cut diamonds, and old brilliant cut rubies and emeralds. It is heavily jeweled and very pretty. Like most Victorian gemstone rings the stones are cut in such a way as to provide a lot of sparkle in candlelight. You will see all of the small open cuts in the gold on the sides of the ring as well as the one long open marquise shaped cut on the back. Ring size is 6.5. Weight is 4.8 grams. Total carat gemstone weight is 1.32 carats. The top measures 1 3/16″ long north to south by 1/4″ wide east to west. It is a very long navette and works well to elongate the finger. The sides have lovely deep engraved scroll work with millgrain beaded edges in the gold and open cut work at the tops of the shank. The top rose cut diamonds are very noticeable as Victorian. The rubies and emeralds have strong deep color and are also very showy. All stones have their natural individual characteristics and inclusions which are not eye visible at all. There is engraving on the inside of the band with fancy script initials and a year date of 95. This ring has an old resize which is still very strong. There are not dents, dings, repairs, tears or other damages. From an estate from years ago this is a stunning, example of the original Victorian navette ring for your antique fine gold jewelry collection.
