Offered for sale this fine antique circa 1860 -1870 gold, emerald and diamond ring. This unique one of a kind ring features 12 rose cut diamonds, 16 cabochon emeralds and 1 emerald cut center emerald. Each stone is hand set in a completly hand carved 14K gold mounting. Every inch of the mounting is hand cut including the entire shank of the ring- see photos. The emeralds and the rose diamonds are all guaranteed genuine and of the period, the mounting as well is of the period and has been tested and guaranteed to be at least 14K gold. T is no mark of any kind inside the mounting. Estimated total emerald weight is about 2 -2.5 carats. Total ring weight is 8.6 grams of 14K yellow gold . T are tiny white gold leaves at the top of the shank w it meets the body of the ring. Please note that one of the cabochon emeralds appears darker in color and slightly smaller than the 15 others. It appears to be slightly lower in the mounting -but is secure. This may have been replaced many years ago before the ring was brought to the US. The 78 year old owner of this ring remembers purchasing it in Europe in 1950 just after the war - from an antique dealer in France or England. I have seen similar pieces at the NYC Armory Antique show selling for around $2500. No reserve - very low starting bid. Sucessful bidder will pay shipping and insurance -
