Description: About this Piece Size: 5Length: 1” Width: 1/4”Material: Tests for 10k gold, natural agate Mark: Yes, see photoEra: Victorian Why You’ll Love It The organic beauty of nature comes alive in this antique ring. Its individual patterning catches your eye, as the marquise silhouette perfectly complements the stone–an intentional choice by the designer. Its strikingly large size is enhanced by the agate's beveled cut, a subtle yet distinctive design detail. A streamlined bezel setting and split shank of the 10k rose gold band were specifically created to allow the stone to take center stage, making this piece all the more unique. Condition and Quality● Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. No dents. ● Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the agate.● Secure, original band. Collector Note On Victorian. A young Queen Victoria assumed her role in 1837 and her taste in jewelry quickly became culturally influential, within England and beyond. Her relationship to jewelry was enmeshed with her husband, Prince Albert, who gifted the Queen for their engagement, a snake ring, embedded with an emerald (her birthstone) in its head. Continuing from the Georgian era and intensified by Queen Victoria’s taste, sentimental and figural jewelry was a major trend throughout the Victorian era. When certain ideas and words were deemed too forward or improper to be spoken, jewelry and symbolic meaning was used to communicate what was left unsaid. On Unique Shapes. Gemstones are time consuming to cut, requiring a high degree of skill from a trained craftsperson, and glass cabochons can be equally complicated to manufacture on a large scale while keeping costs down. These constraints are only a few of the reasons you often see similar shapes of stones used in jewelry. When an unusual shape or cut is used, the manufacturer has made a decision to make something different. Look for out-of-the-ordinary shapes, like the demilune for example, for a striking look as well as a unique find. _gsrx_vers_1608 (GS 9.5 (1608))
