these rings are so sweet -- I feel lucky to own this one, even if only to find its permanent home
this one is very old, likely dating to the mid-1800s. it's a mix of repousse and engraved details, with flush-set stones or enamel in the stylized cuffs that have seen better days
this ring has survived more than a century, but it's on the more delicate side as the band is very very thin
solid 10k rose gold, unmarked

in good antique condition
it's a wonder that this ring has survived through so many eras. it has plenty of quirks to prove its antiquity:
-slightly bent out of rond
-all six flush set stones or enamel are either chipped or have heavy surface wear
-heavy patina
-paper thin band (this is an original quirk)
-noticeable sizing area at the base of the band
-scratches, dents and dings to the surface of the gold
I have not cleaned this ring and it would benefit from a cleaning if you prefer your antique jewelry shiny
