Victorian NAVETTE Natural Ruby Seed Pearl Delicate RING 10K Antique Estate

  
Such a sweet romantic little ring! This comes from a consignor who inherited it from a distant relative. She believes it was her engagement ring, circa 1873 and that it was made in Scotland. Marks have been lost over time but this piece of wearable history certainly has a story to tell! Navette rings were very chic and modern in the Victorian era. This long, thin example measures about 15mm by 4mm wide. The face is adorned with 14 seed pearls. Creamy and silvery in color measuring about 1mm in diameter each. The center holds three teensie natural rubies, each about 1mm in diameter. The undermount has a scrolling crown style in profile which attaches to a 10K rose gold band that tapers from 3mm at the shoulder to 1.5mm at then back of the band. This is a delicate piece weighing only 1.3 grams so I would not recommend it be sized up more than an 8.

Its currently a large 7.75. It can definitely be sized down by your jeweler. S As I mentioned there are no marks, but it was likely manufactured in the UK. Lovely condition with nice luster on the pearls. This would be a lovely piece of "first fine jewelry" for a teen or fun to stack with Victorian bands for the collector!
