Fully-Hallmarked British (Chester, England) Gold, Sapphire, and Diamond Half-Hoop Ring

Period: technically from the Edwardian era, but the ring is thoroughly late-Victorian in design

Marks / stamps: the piece has full British hallmarks—a crown; “18”; stamp for Chester, England; stylized F for 1906 

Maker’s mark: the piece bears a “D&Co” stamp (maker unknown), as well as a partial ID no “(?)87”

Materials: 18K gold; sapphires; diamonds

Dimensions: the piece measures approx. 5.5 mm wide north to south; it stands 3.7 mm tall above the finger

Size: approx. 8 1/4 (free sizing where sizing is possible—contact us for more information)

Gemstones: all stones assessed in their mounting by a GIA GD—weights and grades are approximate and determined as mounting permits
     Primary: .75 ctw., est; three “squat” oval / elongated cushion mixed cut sapphires—the stones appear natural upon cursory examination, but origin, makeup, and treatment status cannot be guaranteed without laboratory examination—the center is approx. .33 cts., the sides add up to approx. .42 ctw.
     Accents: .06 ctw., est.; four very old antique cut diamonds; though they defy easy categorization, there are essentially two very deep Single Cuts, and two Table Cuts
