Weight: 2.5 grams
Diameter of ring face: 9.5 mm
Dimension of diamond: 2.7 x 2 mm

Dimension of tourmalines: 2 x 2.2 mm
Dimension of decorative shoulders: 10 x 7.4 mm

Condition: there are some faint solder marks where the shank joins the decorative shoulders (not visible when worn). The shank is not a perfect circle. Under 60x magnification, I can see some age-wear to the facets of one spinel, and a very tiny nibble to another spinel. Otherwise this ring is in excellent antique condition.
