Regular price
$2,736.00
Presented is a very fine platinum and diamond ring with lovely filigree details
and blue synthetic sapphire accents. The ring is set with four very fine old
mine cut diamonds in the center. Five rectangular sapphires line each side of
the ring for a total of 10 beautiful blue synthetic sapphires.
The diamonds have very good G-H color. They have SI quality, and one or two might be VS category. Three of the stones measure approximately 4.7 millimeters in diameter and 3 millimeters deep, for approximately 37-40 points each. The fourth stone is a little smaller and measures about 4.6 millimeters in diameter and 2.5 millimeters deep, and weighs about 30-31 points. So the total diamond weight is approximately 1.40 - 1.50 carats or about 1 1/2 carats. The ring is marked on the inside of the band with IRID PLAT for 10% iridium and 90% platinum. We have tested the band with nitric acid and guarantee it to be platinum. This ring was made in the United States circa 1910 to 1930. The condition is excellent. The engraving on the sides of the ring are worn in places. The filigree is in good shape with no breaks. The diamonds are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks. The sapphires have surface abrasions and some minor chipping to one stone, but the sapphires are present for the color accent and fulfill that purpose nicely. There are no cracks, no breaks, no splits and no repairs.
