An
astonishing original Art Deco heirloom quality finest earth mined
turquoise and fine exceptional white diamond bombe dome 18K solid white
gold hand made ring. This custom designed ring is absolutely
gorgeous. At the center of a completely hand made one of a kind
ballerina style domed setting which rises quite high is set the most
astonishingly consistent vivid blue fine Persian turquoise cabochon.
This cabochon is consistently the same amazing color throughout with no
veining and no imperfections. It is an untreated piece of the finest
quality untreated natural turquoise that money can buy. It would be very
difficult to be able to obtain untreated turquoise of this consistent
saturated color or in this size on the market today. Modern turquoise is
dyed and stabilized with plastic resins. The diamond tiers which
form the perfect contrast to the exceptional blue of the fine turquoise
are beautifully made. The setting absolutely captures charm, exuberance
and luxury of the late deco era. I love the attention to detail and
perfectly space little diamond settings which form a double glittering
frame around the beautiful central cabochon. A full list of the gorgeous hand selected and hand set precious gems which are in this ring is as follows:
*an
exquisite hand polished cabochon of untreated turquoise with no
imperfections measuring 14.3mm long by 9.5mm wide by 6.4mm deep and
weighing 6.5 carats as estimated in the setting. In total the diamond weight is 1.08 carats with all single cut sparkly white diamonds being VS clarity and F/G in color. The total turquoise and diamond weight in the ring is 7.58 carats. It
does look like a much larger diamond weight and this is because of the
perfectly cut single cut diamonds which are far more sparkly than a
comparable brilliant cut stone of the same size. These spectacular fine
quality little stones have amazing whiteness and perfect clarity. Our
diamond grader cannot grade higher than VS F for diamonds in a setting
but it is certain that if these stones were removed and graded they
would grade higher than VS F. This divine ring is in perfect
condition. I would like to mention though that this ring is almost 100
years old so there is a slight very very fain burnished look to the
white gold as you would expect for an original era piece. It is
currently a size 5 3/4 USA sizing. Of course with a setting like this
this ring can be resized to any size required at little cost. Inside the ring it is not marked for metal fineness but does test as solid 18K white gold and we guarantee it as such. Just
to make the gold setting alone would take around 28 hours of a highly
skilled master jewelers time. It is just exquisitely made. Every fine
detail is perfectly finished. This is a hand made ring the like of which
we do not see in contemporary pieces. I love the soothing
quality and beauty of the turquoise and the exciting luxury of the
sparkly diamonds. What also appeals to me though is it is so feminine! Like all of the finest quality luxury jewels this one of a kind ring just feels beautiful to wear. Today
with the trending fashion in engagement rings shifting swiftly to
non-traditional styles and signature pieces this stunning Art Deco ring
would make a perfect engagement ring. Of course it can be a wear everyday piece of luxury that is a dress ring during the day and a cocktail ring at special events. Pieces
like this are seldom available on the market today as there are so many
Art deco reproduction rings on the market either cast or cut with CAD
technologies. It certainly does make the perfect heirloom ring which can
be adored and enjoyed for a lifetime and handed down in the family for
generations to come. It is a special piece. This precious item
comes with a full appraisal. This appraisal has been made by a
professional Gemologist and accredited Jewelry Appraiser who is a
specialist in the field. It would be very difficult to find a similar
replacement original hand made Art Deco ring with this quality of
turquoise or this finely made on the market today. It will be sent in a presentation box.
