Victorian PEARL OLD MINE CUT DIAMOND 15K Bypass RING Antique Engagement Estate

  
Pearls were a common gem used in Victorian era engagement ring. Said to symbolize purity, pearls were a popular choice for betrothal jewelry from the Renaissance through the end of the 19th century. This ring comes from someone who knows it was an engagement ring in her family, but isn't sure exactly whose. Its such a wonderful piece! The center pearl is about 4.5mm in diameter and the side pearls are 3mm in diameter. They are natural, creamy white with some variation in color.

One of the pearls is darker/more yellow than the other two and may be a replacement. I think the color variation adds a lot of character to the ring. The diamonds are spectacular, all old mine hand cuts, off round, very chunky. The diamonds are about 2.5mm to 3mm in diameter, eight total, an estimated carat weight of about. The face of the ring measures 15mm east to west and 9mm north to south.

The band is a warm gold about 3mm at the shoulder tapering to 2mm at the back. I love the profile on this one with the crown style setting. One pearl as mentioned is darker than the others, but they all have nice luster.

One prong needs to be re-tipped. Currently a 7.75 it can be resized by your jeweler. This ring is marked but I cannot make it out. It tests strongly for 15K and may actually be 16K.
