Latest Vintage Piece
Antique 0.76ct. sapphire & diamond (0.30ct. tw. VS-G) ring, 3.2gr. sz.7.5. $1,400.00 CAD. 206-00626
Estate jewellery by general definition is simply jewellery that is previously owned. We have 1000s of estate items in stock and the vast majority are not very old. Our contemporary estate jewellery is great and offers excellent value too; but it’s antique and vintage jewellery that really get us excited. When people have beautiful jewellery they usually wear it all the time, sometimes for the better part of a lifetime; quality endures but not forever.
It’s uncommon for us to showcase an original antique ring pushing 100 years old that’s still in very good condition. This ring is one of those uncommon exceptions. It has been hand crafted using the highest karat of white gold available; 19 karat white gold is close to 80% in purity and seldom seen.
The centre piece of the beautiful ring is modified French cut blue sapphire of excellent cornflower blue colour. The sapphire measures 6.0mm x 5.1mm and is estimated to weigh 0.76 carat. The intense blue colour is complimented by superb clarity and finish. There are only a few minor abrasions of a couple of facet junctions.
Sapphires are very tough but after decades of use we often see them with numerous scratches, chips, and worn facets, but that’s not the case with this one. The sapphire is surrounded by 12 round single cut diamonds of high quality (VS-G) all with excellent cut. The fine milgrain bezel and halo border still show excellent detail suggesting this ring was carefully worn throughout its life. The pierced gallery, and hand engraved flower blossom/leaf shoulders show very good relief and detail.
The ring shank measures 2mm (average width) in finger size 7.5. This ring can easily be made a size or two smaller by one of our onsite goldsmiths. You don’t need to be afraid to wear your jewellery, you just need to be conscious of what you’re doing when wearing it. With this in mind there is no reason a high quality ring like this can’t survive a lifetime of enjoyment. This beautiful ring is an great value and estate priced at $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #206-00626.
