Description
Victorian Etruscan Revival 9ct gold ring or circle pendant with Rubies , other gemstones , and a natural white sapphire. This piece I think is really pretty. I converted it about a year ago and have finally decided to sell it. Originally it was a brooch circa 1870 . I removed the pin and added a white sapphire I found on a edwardian stick pin.The main piece at one time must have loss a couple of it's gemstones because as you can see in the up close pictures some of the stones are more pink and some more red. There are different stones in this, rubies and tourmaline and possibly garnets I can't remember exactly when I originally tested the stones except for the rubies.
Unfortunately I dropped my
presidium gem tester about 3 weeks ago and now the dial is not working . I remember two at least being rubies and the others were I think pink tourmaline, but there might also have been garnets. Possibly all three stone are in this , but I do remember they were all gemstones and that two of them were for sure rubies. The white sapphire I know is authentic and remember testing . It is really nice and sparkles like a diamond . When looking at this with the naked eye the stones all appear about the same color, a darker pink color
The discovery of Etruscan tombs in the 19th century led to a revival of the Etruscan style jewelry . The Etruscan's where people that lived in Italy 700-300B.C
This piece measures an inch in diameter .
Note: This sale is for the pendant only, if interested in the 9ct watch chain seen in the photo above ,I will be listing it soon.
