1898 Gorgeous English 18k Gold & Diamond 5 Stone Anniversary Band Ring
Presented is a gorgeous 18 karat gold and diamond ring. This is an English ring, dating to 1898. The ring is set with five old mine cut diamonds, graduated in size. The total diamond weight for the ring is about 30 points. The diamonds are dazzling stones with a lot of life and fire. The gold setting is very dainty and elegant.
The ring is in great condition. The diamonds are securely set. There are no breaks and no repairs.
This ring is hallmarked on interior of the band with the crown for gold, 18 for 18 karat purity, the anchor for the city of Birmingham, the date letter Y for 1898, and a maker's mark we unfortunately cannot read. The crown, and 18k mark as well as the maker's mark are somewhat indistinct, but enough remains that they can be read. We have tested this piece with nitric acid and guarantee it to be 18 karat gold.
The ring is a size 6 3/4.
The ring weighs 2.6 grams.
