Antique Flat Emerald Cut RUBY 8k Rose GOLD Ring Etched Bezel Stack Art Nouveau

Description

ABOUT:
This vibrant ruby ring is just so beautiful with its flat cut top, emerald cut underside and angled rose gold mount ornately etched on all sides. Very vibrant fuchsia to red color.  It does test accurately as Ruby on my gem tester, but looking at the perfect clarity and bright color, it looks like the stone is synthetic to me.
Still such a lovely piece from the Jugendstil / Art Nouveau period.  The stone cut is interesting in that the top is flat cut and the underside of the stone is faceted, so it reflects light from the back of the stone.  The band is wide at the shoulders.
This is an antique piece that I acquired in Europe. As such it is marked with their numerical hallmarking system, in this case 333 for 8k gold. While it is a lower carat, it is real gold so it won't show underlying metal over time.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Around a Size 5, I could not put it on the ring sizer mandrel because the stone sticks out the back and doesn't allow the band to meet flush with the post.   The ruby is about 13mm by 10.5mm.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
All my estate pieces are preowned and in estate condition.   The ring was sized at one time so there is a shadow of a seam visible from the inside of the band, not the outside though. The stone is secure in the bezel but does "click" when you tap it. Not sure if that is something a jeweler could tighten? Surface wear to the gold band but still nicely shaped.
It presents nicely but due to age - please note this is not a mint condition item.
Like all antique jewelry, please handle these rings with care.
Very sweet piece from a very special era.  I enjoy making my customers happy and matching unique pieces with new homes.  Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!  It means a lot to me that you are visiting my store! : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
