This ring is the perfect elegant and wonderfully large Aquamarine solitaire. The stone is a glistening pillar on the hand of an iceberg blue. The elongated shape of the stone is striking and it really has a presence on the hand. The rectangular step cut means that as you move your hand pillars of white and pale blue dance through the very reflective and sparkly stone. Held in a simple handmade four claw setting from the top the ring is all about the amazing large stone (and stones of this size are getting harder and harder to find!) The white gold lattice on the edges is angular and elegant and really reflects the angular cuts of the stone - being handmade and in white gold we suspect this ring to be an 1930s-1950s piece. The raised shoulders flow into the simple shank which bears the French Eagle's Head on the exterior. Conveniently this hallmark is on a side, not at the back, which will make sizing it down much easier. This ring is currently a very large size U1/2 - but we are offering a free re-size down on this - our jewellers have said anything down to an O or 7 should be pretty manageable.

Comes with an independent valuation for $6200 AU

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.
