An elegant antique ring (circa 1890-1900), designed as a refined navette set with sparkling diamonds and vivid emeralds, accented by sculptural snake-form shoulders in 18 karat gold. The elongated arrangement creates a graceful, finger-spanning silhouette, while the interplay of bright diamonds and richly colored emeralds lends depth and vibrancy.
The face of the ring measures 0.9 inches by 0.3 inches wide, offering a delicate yet distinctive presence on the hand. The ring weighs 3.51 grams and is presented in good antique condition, with light surface wear.
Currently a size 7, the ring may be professionally resized for an additional charge.
Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 18K gold construction. A graceful and symbolic example of late 19th-century gemstone jewelry.
The gemstones were verified using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive laboratory technique that provides a precise chemical ‘fingerprint’ to confirm a gemstone’s identity and authenticity.
