Ring - 12 kt. Yellow gold - 12-karat gold ring

Splendid and exclusive antique margherita/cluster ring (late 19th / early 20th century), entirely hand-forged. Main technical features: - Materials: 12-carat yellow gold tested (historic hallmark 500/1000). - The top plate of the setting is finished in light metal (silver/low-karat white gold) to preserve the natural color of the gems, a technique typical of the period. - Stones: It features 7 natural diamonds cut in antique cuts (Old Mine Cut / Rose Cut) hand-cut. - The stones have been inspected and confirmed stable with a fixed red DIA indicator using a dedicated electronic conductivity-based thermal tester (a photo of the test is attached to the lot). - Hallmarks: An official State of Israel hallmark is impressed inside the shank (Hebrew letter 'Bet' for gold and the karat symbol), later impressed for import or cataloging. - Total weight: 2.92 grams (measured on a precise digital scale, photo attached). - Size: Internal diameter about 17.2–17.5 mm, corresponding to IT size 15. Conditions and restorations: Excellent antique condition with a beautiful original patina of the period. Note on the shank: there is a slight joining line due to a former historical resizing intervention (enlargement), which removed the original European hallmarks while leaving the subsequent Israeli mark intact. Box: Included in the lot is its rare and magnificent original vintage green leather case with gilded edges and a velvet interior. Tracked and insured shipping.
