Description from the seller

ANCIENT & VINTAGE JEWELRY – 19th/early 20th century – HALLMARKED SILVER – AMETHYSTS, RUBIES & MARCASITES – 36 G

Magnificent set of two antique jewelry pieces featuring a substantial vintage 925 sterling silver ring set with colorful stones and a remarkable antique hallmarked silver bracelet with a rich floral decorative motif.

Two standout pieces, marked by metalwork, reliefs, patina, and the distinctive aesthetic of antique jewelry.

THE RING – approx. 1900–1950

Stunning vintage ring in hallmarked 925 sterling silver.

Its mount is especially ornate, with a raised floral and vegetal composition, including deliberately darkened areas that add a great deal of depth to the design.

It is adorned with beautiful amethysts in violet hues, accompanied by small rubies providing an elegant contrast.

Numerous tiny marcasites complete the design and highlight the various elements of the mount.

The combination of violet amethysts, red rubies, and patinated silver gives it an immediately recognizable vintage aesthetic and real character.

Ring characteristics:
• Period: first half of the 20th century, approx. 1900–1950
• Hallmarked 925 sterling silver
• 925 mark
• Amethysts
• Small rubies
• Marcasites
• Weight: approx. 7 g
• Inner diameter: approx. 17 mm
• Size: approx. US 6½
• Floral/vegetal decoration
• Antiqued, high-contrast finish

THE BRACELET – 19th CENTURY

Imposing antique bracelet in hallmarked silver, attributed to the 19th century.

It features a traditional hollow construction designed to yield a voluminous bracelet that is prominent on the wrist while remaining balanced in weight.

The outer surface is entirely worked with a remarkable floral and vegetal relief decoration.

Flowers, leaves, scrolls and successive friezes run along the bracelet, while the hollow and patinated parts naturally emphasize the reliefs of the silver.

This construction and decorative work give it all the charm of antique jewelry.

One mobile element is perceptible inside the hollow structure and may produce a slight noise when handled, a characteristic to consider in the condition report.

Bracelet characteristics:
• Assigned period: 19th century
• Hallmarked silver
• Hollow construction
• Weight: approx. 29 g
• Floral and vegetal carved/relief decoration
• Decorative friezes
• Antiqued patina
• Mobile element perceptible inside the hollow structure

TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE SET: APPROX. 36 GRAMS.

This ensemble has a very strong vintage and antique identity.

It combines the finesse of a colorful amethyst and ruby ring with the much more imposing presence of an antique bracelet richly worked.

Marks, patina variations, and signs of use visible are consistent with the age of the jewelry and contribute to its character.

A beautiful set for a collector or enthusiast of antique jewelry, worked silver, and pieces with a bold character.

The photographs are an integral part of the description and allow precise appreciation of the hallmarks, stones, patina, decorations, and overall condition of both pieces.
