Antique GARNET 10k Rose GOLD Ring Reverse Cut Star Cabochon Victorian Buttercup

Description

I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world.  Some examples seen in the last photo - thanks for stopping by!
ABOUT:
Beautiful antique garnet ring in 10k rosy gold with a partial buttercup setting and a row of three pearls on both the top and bottom of the center garnet.  The Garnet is very interesting in that the top is a smooth domed cabochon with little geometric facets just around the outside edge and then the  underside of the stone is faceted like a star, so it reflects light from the back of the stone and is really fun to look into in the light, almost like looking into a kaleidascope. : )
Such a lovely piece from the Victorian / Art Nouveau period.
The gold hallmarks have worn but it was sold to me and tests at 10k.
Beautiful ring, and would make a great gift as well.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Currently a size 4.5. The garnet is about 5mm in diameter.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
All my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition.  Under magnification only, the garnet has some tiny nicks, but to the eye it appears nice and polished. Some patina from age to the gold.
Still beautifully shaped. Some surface wear to the gold when you see it in a reflection. Just being picky, it is still very wearable and sturdy and presents beautifully but due to age - please note this is not a mint condition item.
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
