A super sweet 18 carat gold signet ring with crisp hallmarks for Birmingham 1858.
The centre holds a turquoise cabochon sitting in an 8 point start setting, this kind of setting is very indicative to the era in which it was made. I’m unsure if the turquoise is original to the setting or is a later addition but it pairs perfectly with the glow of the high carat gold.
There is a small amount of jewellers adhesive to one side of the cabochon (as is often the case with cabachons in antique jewellery), visible under loupe and camera magnification.
Currently a tiny size F.5 / 3.25 (and fitting more like an F / 3) we can take it up a max of three ring sizes and while we always try our best to preserve the hallmarks please do be aware that they may be affected.
If there is a tiny fingered Cinderella out there, now is your time to shine!
*turquoise is a porous material therefore I recommend that you don't submerge this piece in water and be careful when applying hand cream/sun cream etc

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-owned and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statements and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the condition statement.
