Antique Belle Époque ring, 18 kt rose gold on silver, with a natural sapphire and surrounding diamonds, no laboratory report; model: Antiqua ca. 1900 Sapphire.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
EU 50 / US 5¼ / UK K½ (inner diameter approx. 15.9 mm)
Type of jewel: Antique sapphire, diamond and blue strass cluster ring
Condition: In well-preserved condition, especially given this ring’s age.
Style: Belle Époque, with a flower-like cluster design.
Era: Circa 1900.
Material: 18K red gold and silver, touchstone tested; the ring head has a silver top.
Technique: Silver on gold, a period-typical construction that gives the diamond-set ring head a lighter appearance.
Diamonds: 24 rose-cut and senaille-cut diamonds.
Rose-cut and senaille-cut diamonds are traditionally described by number rather than by estimated weight, colour or clarity grades. Their varying and often irregular depth prevents reliable weight estimation while mounted, while formal colour and clarity grading is not customary in the trade for diamonds of these antique cutting styles.
All diamonds in this ring were individually tested with the EXA Natural Diamond Detector by Magilabs and identified as natural diamonds.
Gemstones: One natural sapphire, estimated at approximately 0.22 ct, and 22 blue strass stones, most probably imitating sapphires.
It is common practice for gemstones to be treated in order to improve their colour or clarity. The sapphire has not been tested for such treatments.
The sapphire weight is approximate, as the stone was assessed in its setting and was not removed for weighing.
Traditional gemstone associations: The central sapphire is traditionally associated with September and loyalty; the blue strass echoes these associations, while diamonds are linked with April and enduring love.
Dimensions: Ring head: 16.5 × 14.3 mm. See picture with a ruler in cm and inches.
Weight: 2.8 grams.
Ring size: EU 50 / US 5¼ / UK K½ (inner diameter approx. 15.9 mm).
Ring sizes are professionally measured and rounded to the nearest millimetre; slight variations are standard and do not affect wear.
