Stunning Vintage Art Deco Style 9ct Yellow Gold & Sterling Silver Marcasite Statement Ring with Vibrant Green Peking Glass Centerpiece - Size UK I ½
- Two-Tone Mixed Metal Design: Following the traditional practice of fine early-to-mid 20th-century jewelers, the decorative top face of the ring is crafted from sterling silver to provide that dark, antiqued backdrop that makes marcasite pop. The band itself is a solid low-karat yellow gold shank, ensuring excellent durability against daily wear without discoloring your finger.
- Hallmarks: The inner band features a classic, heavily worn oval stamp near the shoulder. While the internal text has faded naturally over time, the oval silhouette is highly indicative of standard vintage British/Commonwealth 9ct (9K) or '375' gold stamps.
- Gemstones: Features a square/lozenge-cut green Peking glass center stone paired with a brilliant surround of individually set marcasite stones that catch the light beautifully.
- Testing: The ring has been thoroughly magnet-tested and is completely non-magnetic, confirming it has a solid precious-metal core with no cheap plated iron or nickel underneath.
This ring is in lovely vintage condition with some minor wear and tarnishing. All marcasite stones are intact, secure and have a bright lustre. The green Peking glass has age related wear; surface softening which is in keeping with mid century vintage glass. No deep scratches or chips and still glows.
