A little history and background on the "British India Estate". This is a beautiful 15.68 carat ethnic Kunden collectable ring with an astonishing large aquamarine as the focal pont. At the same time I have listed another aquamarine ring so you may compare the two, you can not miss with either one, it depends on your tastes. This is a fabulous piece that will be auctioned to the highest bidder, please look at the pictures carefully and you will see what a find this is. I was appointed by this collector of rare historical jewelry to sell portions of his collections to test the fair market value of his pieces. This stately gentleman now living in London has sent me some of this collection to sell in the USA because we have determined the Ebay market to be stronger in the USA however everyone is invited to bid as I ship world wide. This collection spans 3 centuries and includes many styles. As you can see the handmade Indian designs are quite unique and heavily garnished with gems. Most of these items were made for the very wealthy family of the British Indian Trading Company and elite aristocrats. Description: This is a very nice piece of the collection, it contains a 12.5 carat oval cut aquamarine set amongst 66 large European cut diamonds and ruby accents. The incredible aquamarine measures 17x13 mm and it is prong set with diamonds. This is a really outrageous cocktail ring with a gorgeous combination aquamarine, diamonds and rubies, the designs in which the diamonds are set are thick and ornate. The aquamarine is set like an egg in a protective nest, this is one of my favorites to date. All of the diamonds are set into silver while the 12 rubies are bezel set into 14k yellow gold. The 66 diamonds total 1.98 carats as the diamonds are .03 carat size and graded at "H" color and "SI" clarity which means they are nice white and sparkling diamonds. This is such a striking piece measuring a large 26x27 mm at the head, what a victorian masterpiece this is, under the head is a frame work of heavy 14k yellow gold w the ring touches the finger. The silver blue color is very classy with minor inclusions and a fancy cut bottom, this is a true knockout. You can see the incredible life it has in the pictures that were taken outside and it is a masterpiece. Look at all of the open work in this one set with diamonds, the design is traditional East Asian made to attract the eye and boy does it ever. This is a very rare ethnic Kundan piece from the British India collection, really one of the best pieces that you will ever see auctioned at 1 dollar, get them when they are offered. All of the beautiful gemstones are genuine and total a very substantial 15.68 carats and they are in the right place. It is a size 7 and can be resized if needed. This is a real no reserve auction, just 1 dollar starts it out! These items are truly "once in a lifetime" opportunities. It weighs 17.3 grams of solid 14k with silver around the diamonds, the inside is marked "14k". Look at the pictures of this one, its really a stunner. This is certainly an interesting collectors item to add to your fine ethnic jewelry collection and you will want to wear it everyday. It is very well made and will make a great ring to wear. Do not miss these pieces, they are very difficult to obtain and very limited. Highest bidder takes it no matter what the price. Thank you all, Henri... "Rules" I can not allow under (5) rated bidders to bid on these British India items. If you think you should be allowed to bid then write me a letter stating your intentions to pay if you are the winner. This auction is for the item shown, t is no paperwork or appraisal that come with them. I am a firm believer that a seller offering appraisals for his or her jewelry is a conflict of interest. I only sell real jewelry so you can bid with confidence. Thank you, Henri... read more
