Gorgeous and very rare antique ring from the late 1800’s. I thought this ring was sterling but this beauty is stamped 18k on the silver colored band and a maker’s mark that I could not make out- both very faint/faded. Not quite sure what the metal content is. The ring was most probably made in Italy- it is handmade and features a square cut robin egg blue turquoise stone with an intricate micro mosaic of a bird. There is a crack in the turquoise due to the age of the ring- but the crack does not go through the mosaic at all. The ring is about a size 5 and weighs about 5.8g. It is a wonderful very rare antique estate piece from a very high end Boston MA estate. Photos are a large part of the description. I try my best to capture each and every item I have and to describe it as best I can. I ask you to look at the photos carefully because I may neglect to mention something or I may not notice something that to you may be important. Most of the items I sell have age to them- it gives them character and history, but also some wear. Sizes and weights are approximate but measured with care and as accurate as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Also, if you have a chance (yes you do lol), please check out my other items. I have been going to a lot of estate sales in my area lately- MA, NH, CT, RI, and NY… And I have been finding a lot of old treasures!
