Art Nouveau Ring, Striking Foliate Garland Ring, Vivid Old Cut Lab Rubies, Charming Flower Blossom and Leaf Design, Statement Ring by Franziska

825,00 USD This striking Art Nouveau ring is uncommon and significant … definitely a declaration piece …

Crafted of solid 14K rosy-yellow gold (with a & quot; & quot; bloomed & quot; yellow surface), the ring features 3 clearly colored lab rubies amidst an extremely in-depth garland of leaves and flower blossoms
<. br /> Measuring a little over 5 mm in diameter, each synthetic ruby is approximated to weigh around half a carat, or two, for an approximated grand total of approximately 1.5 carats in the ring. (These stones do test as rubies;. They are not glass Artificial rubies ended up being preferred after 1902 when Auguste Verneuil created his flame combination procedure) They have very brilliant, rich pink/ fuchsia/ red color that really pops versus the highly colored, matte textured gold, in addition to excellent clarity and fantastic sparkle. Bezel-set, the gems are in really excellent condition, with only very light wear seen under magnification.

The wonderful information of the leaves is exactly what specifically drew me to this piece. Each leaf is perfectly articulated with veining and a really dimensional appearance. A little flower bloom is positioned to either side of the main ruby, with little berry-like beads in between leaves at the top and bottom of the design

< br/ > I think the gold was likely & quot; flowered & quot; & quot; giving the rather rosy colored gold a surface of very abundant high karat gold. (Flowering is a procedure that was specifically popular throughout the late Victorian age and included recruiting a chemical mix to dissolve the alloys in the gold, leaving a thin layer of pure gold on the surface of the piece with a wonderful matte texture.) The surface area stays in excellent condition, with little wear.

Strong and remarkable on the hand, this is a ring that will certainly be noticed! The face measures roughly 12 x 36 mm (a little under half an inch x a little under 1.5 inches). The rise off the finger is roughly 6.6 mm at it’s acme.

Still rather substantial and in great condition, the band is only a little out of round, and is really comfy on the finger. Inside, the band is significant & quot; & quot; 14K & quot; as well as has a maker’s mark or hallmark that I have actually not yet had the ability to determine. It has the letters & quot; & quot; PK & quot; within a diamond shaped cartouche, with & quot; & quot; T & quot; and & quot; M & quot; to either side. The overall weight of the ring is a large 4.95 grams.

Size 6 on my ring mandrel, this ring could be sized within factor by a great jewelry expert. Sizing it up may suggest a disturbance in the grooved design of the band at the really back. ** Please read my policies page for additional information relating to sizing and do not hesitate to message me to discuss it or to acquire a quote from my relied on bench jewelry expert.
