This must be one of the most elegant rings we have ever had. Made somewhere in the twenties of the last century and sold in France as it carries the French hallmark for jewelry made outside of France. The center is set with a high domed cabochon natural sapphire. Such sapphires are called "pain du sucre" which is French for sugarloaf. (A sugarloaf was the traditional form, a tall gently-tapering cylinder with a conical top, in which refined sugar was exported from the Caribbean and eastern Brazil from the 17th to 19th centuries.).

The details of this ring :

Style: between Edwardian and Art Deco

Style specifics: As for its elegant design, this jewel has the finesse of an Edwardian piece reacting gracefully against the very geometrical forms of Art Deco that was strongly influenced by Cubism. However, because both Edwardian and Art Deco styles were contemporaries of each other, we sometimes notice pieces - like this one - that carry both influences.

Period: ca. 1920.

Material: 14K white gold.

Diamonds: 20 various cut diamonds, old mine brilliant cut and single brilliant cut diamonds (also called 8/8) all together with a total estimated weight of approx. 0.40 carat and 26 rose cut diamonds. We do not have the weight of the diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cuts. Note: All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since the stones were not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.

Total diamond weight: approx. 0.40 carat (without the rose cut diamonds)

Gemstones: one pain de sucre cabochon cut natural sapphire

Hallmarks: Although it carries a typical French control mark representing an owl, we cannot be sure it is actually French as the owl was also used for items in finished condition that were brought to be examined by the French Assay office (the eagle’s head was used for items brought in unfinished).

Condition: excellent condition.

Weight: 3.20 gram.

Ring size Continental: 51 & 16¼ , Ring Size US 5½ , Ring Size UK: K½

Resizing: Free resizing, but because of the the way the ring is made, we cannot guarantee to make it on every size; so please ask in advance (only for extreme resizing we have to charge).
