Incredible gold craftmanship in this beautiful old 13mm genuine Smokey Quartz set in very ornate & substantial marked 14K Gold. The stone tests 7 Mohs hardness. The face of the ring measures 21.5mm and is 10.7mm deep with a total ring weight of 7.2 grams. As you can see from the pix, the stone has definite inclusions and surface wear. The cut is very interesting, with the base having extra facets like you would see on a Zircon. Very beautiful! The size measures 17.67 diameter, a size 7 1/2 US/P UK. This item is part of a large Canadian Estate. Items date from late 1700's to mid 1900's. The Estate owner was an experienced antique collector with an exceptional eye for fine and rare items.

I will do as much research as I can so the description read more
