Sold Out
Period: c. 1890s-1900s; Victorian
Stamp: The ring is marked "10 W X"; The "WX" is the mark of Providence, Rhode Island jewelry, D. Wilcox & Company, established by Dutee Wilcox in 1856 (originally called Wilcox & Battell, with partner Henry A. Battell). After a number of changes in name and partnership, the company was passed on to Dutee's son, Howard, in 1918 after Dutee's death. The new management was short-lived and the company closed its doors in 1919.
Materials: approx. 14K gold (acid tested, multiple times, as the ~14K content conflicts with the "10" in the stamp. The ring was likely stamped (incorrectly) by a different jeweler years after the ring was created.); silver collet; diamonds
Dimensions: just over 13.00 mm north to south across the top; the piece stands 4.90 mm tall above the finger—this is a low-profile piece considering the significant diamond spread
Size: 6 (free sizing)
Diamonds:
Center: .76 carat Oval Rose Cut diamond (GIA-assessed as Oval Modified Brilliant; G color; I1 clarity)—as set, this stone reads as a very fine I1 and is thoroughly eye clean. The stone itself comes from an estate piece that was beyond repair. Our smith set it into this mount with an early-Victorian inspired silver collet, shown here with a dark patina.
Accents: Fourteen Antique Rose Cut diamonds; .25 ctw., est.
