Description from the seller
Splendid and exclusive vintage margherita/cluster ring (late 19th / early 20th century), entirely hand-forged. Main technical features: Materials: 18K yellow gold tested at 12 carats (historic fineness 500/1000). The upper plate of the setting is finished in light metal (silver/white gold of low fineness) to preserve the natural color of the gemstones, a technique typical of the era. Stones: It features 7 natural old-cut diamonds (Old Mine Cut / Rose Cut) handcrafted. The stones have been verified and confirmed stable with a fixed red indicator 'DIA' using a dedicated electronic thermal-conductivity tester (a photo of the test is attached to the lot). Hallmarks: An official hallmark of the State of Israel is impressed inside the shank (Hebrew letter 'Bet' for gold and the carat symbol), later added for import or cataloging. Total weight: 2.92 grams (measured on a precision digital scale, photo attached). Size: Inner diameter approximately 17.2 - 17.5 mm, corresponding to IT size 15. Conditions and restorations: Excellent vintage condition with a beautiful original patina of the period. Note on the shank: a small joining line due to a historic old resizing intervention (widening) that removed the original European marks, leaving the subsequent Israeli mark intact. Box: Included with the lot is its rare and magnificent original-era green leather case with gilded edges and velvet interior. Shipped tracked and insured.

Sellers are responsible for the information, pictures and description provided, including the quality, quantity and nature of the jewelry supplied. A small imperfection that cannot be seen in the photo but is included in the description is not a non-conformity.

A Lab Report contains only the characteristics of an article described after it has been graded, tested, examined, and analyzed using the techniques and equipment used at the time of the examination from that specific Lab. The results of any other examination performed on the article may differ depending when, how, by whom and with which grading standard the article is examined. In addition, any changes and improvements in techniques and equipment that may have occurred which may enable the examiner to detect, among other things, the use of processes for altering the characteristics of an article which use was previously undetectable, does not automatically mean the object does not conform to its description.
