Victorian Pavé Turquoise Dome Ring

A mid-19th century Victorian bombé ring, likely made in England, pavé-set on the sterling silver dome with natural turquoise, mounted to a 9k rose gold shank. The turquoise have undergone a subtle color change that can happen after many years of handling, creating a subtle mosaic effect with lightly varied shades of blue and green emphasizing its unique antique character.

Details: Measuring approximately 9/16" north to south at the center front, with a 3.3 mm width at the center back, and an approximate height of 1/4" above the finger when worn. Not marked for metal content but XRF tests to 9k and sterling silver.

Size: 7 3/4, we do not recommend resizing as it may adversely affect the curve of the shoulders.

Condition: In excellent antique condition with a rich patina and some light solder marks inside the band and at the shoulders near the join of the turquoise plate with the shank.
