Edwardian Ring, 14k White Gold Filled, Simulated Ruby, Alternative Engagement Ring

A unique and stunning antique ring: The band is 14K white gold filled, with beautiful scroll work on the sides and top towards the setting. The setting itself has a tiny fleur des lis in between each prong, adding to the overall elegance of the piece. Finally, it is set with a large simulated ruby - probably glass. The color is a deep fuchsia. A beautiful piece. Marked inside with two anchors facing each other, 1/30 14K Gold Shell. This is a beautiful piece for a woman who loves jewels for their character and history. It's very unique, especially the color of the stone, and makes for a fun and unusual alternative engagement ring or special gift.

The ring does have some wear:
Inside the band, at the bottom, is a small dark area, and there are smaller dark spots in the same location but on the sides. These look like a place where the gold shell has begun to wear through, probably from years of normal wear. However, when the ring is on, these spots are basically invisible. The band has some small fine scratches, as to be expected with age, but these are mostly invisible unless you are looking for them. One one flank, facing toward you if you are wearing the rings, is a small section of scratches that are slightly more noticeable - like 3 pin point sized dings under the scroll work, but you really need to be looking for them to see them. The prongs well built up and and the glass stone is very strongly set.

Sized a 6.75 on my ring mandrel. The glass "ruby" measures around 8mm in diameter. I have more pictures of the ring available on my Instagram feed - find me at Falcon_and_Finch.

Size can be adjustable through your local jeweler. Will be shipped in a gift box, ready for giving. Domestic shipping includes insurance. International shipping is available upon request, please convo me for details.
