Description: Outstanding Antique 14K Gold Diamond Figural Butterfly Ring Cigar Band Rose OMC Outstanding Antique 13K Gold Diamond Figural Butterfly Ring Cigar Band Rose OMC Wow, what a fabulous example of an antique figural butterfly wedding ring in 13K gold. Tested by GIA at exactly 13K gold via eBay authenticity guarantee program. Natural earth mined diamonds accent this lovely butterfly. Two rose cut stones and two old mine cut stones. The band has an ever so slight rose gold tone (presently rose gold colored ring) to it and I am not sure if polished out if it will be yellow gold or stay rose. I have left the rose gold patina. The cigar band of this ring was decorated at one point, but much of that decoration has long since worn away from a collection of former owners who have clearly loved and enjoyed wearing this piece for well over an estimated 150 years. The band, based upon the heavy wear, is most likely older than the applied butterfly based upon the wear. Potentially from the Georgian time period. This looks to be an assembled piece as would have been common place during the Victorian time period to repurpose older jewelry to make something new. Wouldn't you love to be the next owner? Please do review all of the photographs as they are of the actual item you are buying. Size: Is about an 8 (could be a tiny bit larger, but the wide band covers up the marks) Weight: 2.8 grams all inclusive Hallmarks: None Main Stone: 2 x Rose Cut Diamonds estimated 2mm x an unknown depth. One roundish OMC diamond approx 2.64mm x 3.4mm x 2mm estimate and One roundish OMC diamond approx 3.25mm x 2.59mm x 1.72mm Secondary Stones: None Head Size: Approx 11.57mm deep x 12.72mm wide (the butterfly) with a rise of about 2.86mm Shank Size at sizing Area: .41mm thick and about 6.74mm deep. Notable: The original band has lost most of its outer decorative artistry and has thinned out as result of many decades of wear. Testing on the Niton at 13K Gold. GIA reviewed under eBays authenticity guarantee program. Old diamonds like these may show flea bites that originated when they were cut due to the processes used. As with any antique jewelry, you should expect to see wear in the stones and setting. Please do check out my other items as I am happy to consolidate shipping!
