This gorgeous ring was created in the late Victorian era, known as the Aesthetic Period, and is made from blue turquoise, natural pearls, and 14K rose gold. The two large cabochons of turquoise exhibit a beautiful light blue hue and pop against the white pearls. The ring's shoulders have a twisted rope motif, adding a little design to the piece. It's a great antique ring to add to your collection!

Blue was Queen Victoria's favorite color, so Persian turquoise and blue enamel were favored during her reign. 

The ring is in very good antique condition with minimal signs of wear. The surface of the gold and turquoise show fine lines and marks under magnification, but nothing noticeable or visible. The turquoise cabochons are secure in the prongs and do not wiggle. All prongs have some light wear, with one prong on a pearl that is broken in half. The pearl is still secure in the setting. The ring is not marked or stamped. The pearl and turquoise are natural and untreated or dyed. There is a small chip on the girdle of one cabochon, but you cannot see it while wearing the ring.

The ring is a size 8.25 and can be sized. The cabochons are 7mm x 4.7mm x 2.7mm and weigh 0.6 carats each or 1.2 cttw. The pearls are 2.5mm across, and the head measures 3/8" tall and wide.

I try to show an accurate picture of the item in my photographs and in the written description. Please take note of the size given in the description, as images can often make the item appear more prominent than its actual size.
