Stunning Antique Turquoise Heart Rose Diamond Ring
We saw it glow and in a heartbeat we knew ... we just had to have this ring. And couldn't part with it for a long while... you do not come across something so beautiful every day. But here she goes, to win and warm the heart of her new keeper.
This utterly stunning Victorian era ring is the true queen of turquoise hearts. Her heart has the most beautiful shape of a puffy heart which we so adore. The stunning colour could not be more beautiful and she is a joy to behold. And held she is in intense, buttery yellow gold bezel setting making her vivid colour pop even more ! This loveliness is set into a fine rose gold mount with a lovely pierced out gallery. The framing of this beauty could not be more charming, the gentle twinkle of tiny rose cut diamonds elevates the beautiful Forget-Me-Not colour gem to ultimate romantic perfection. And... lets not forget to mention the size of the natural turquoise heart - it is huge !
The ring is Continental European in origin and dates back to around 1870. The ring is made in 14 karat rose gold, tested as it is not hallmarked. The inner setting of the heart itself is crafted in rich and buttery yellow high karat gold. It is not possible to determine the karat of it exactly due to the design of the ring, but it is a minimum of 18 karat. The turquoise in its diamond setting measures 14.90 x 12.97 mm and is most certainly Persian in origin. She sits 5.80 mm of the top of the finger. There are 36 rose cut diamonds around the turquoise, they are teeny and darling!! And they are in lovely antique condition, as is the natural turquoise stone! Her gallery - the gold work under the main top of the ring is just exquisite. The ring is size US 3.75 or UK H, she would make a stunning pinky ring. Her overall antique condition is wonderful.
Turquoise is a December Birthstone and the 11th Wedding Anniversary gift.
We absolutely adore .....this ring and everything about it. She's utterly, beautifully charming. She really whispers Forget-Me-Not....
