Ok, ok! So we have been hoarding this beauty! But we have had no occasions to wear her (we blame young children and living literally at the beach) and so knowing that rings love to be seen, we are reluctantly making her available for sale. 

The most sunny and glorious stepped table of citrine, that even in the lowest of sunshine glows. The deep golden hues are warm and bring such joy. 

Claw set in the most fabulous vintage setting that is weighty in gold at every turn. We love the double corner claws, the rounded basket that offers such lovely safety for the stone and the elegant and refined V-carved basket. 

The wide leaves on the shoulders offer such great security to the heavy head of this ring, and we love the look of the ring from all angles - and boy does it command some looks. 

Particulars: 

Size N1/2 or 7 - might feel slightly smaller - towards N or 6.75 (sizing not recommended)

Weight 15.12g 

Width 24.4 x 19.5mm x 13.8mm proud on a half round shank of 3.7 x 1.3mm

Stone - known weight of 35ct citrine 

Hallmarks  "9CT'- likely Australian

Condition - new replacement stone - it is a great rich yellow colour, the edge facets reflect fabulously, but there is a window in the centre - see pics on the hand. Ring has been reworked to ensure stone safety - you can see where claws have been rebuilt. This ring is chunky and fabulous - but we don't recommend sizing or re-setting. Price is reflective of this.

Care - As a general rule - jewellery should not be worn for strenuous tasks that may put pressure, chemicals and weight on them (think cleaning, gym, swimming/spa, carrying things). Jewellery should be inspected checked every six months by a jeweller to check for wear.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.

Current prices are: $40 for sizing down, $40 for rhodium plating (all white gold rings), and sizing up starts at $50 - and depends on the carat of gold, width of band and number of sizes. These are subject to change at any time and remain linked to the volatile changes in precious metals.

Time frames - sizing is usually complete within 3 weeks.

Lay-by

As well as Afterpay and Paypal Pay-in-4 which are available at checkout, we also do traditional lay-by.
