Ring size: USA 6.5, UK M, EU 53 (resizable via laser welder — see ‘FAQ’ section at bottom of page for more info)
Materials: natural solid opal, pearls, enamel, solid 14k yellow gold (marked & tested)
Weight: 8.5 grams
Marks: [14k] for solid 14k gold
Dimension of ring face: 22.5 x 21 mm
Height of ring face: 11 mm
Dimension of opal cabochon: 12 x 10 x 7 mm (approx. 4.5 carats)
Diameter of pearls: 3.5 mm
Width of shank: 1.8 – 3.6 mm
Thickness of shank: 1 – 1.5 mm
Condition: Under 60x loupe magnification, I can spot minor losses to the blue enamel at the edges, as well as a few pin-sized shallow nibbles to the opal surface (very hard to spot with the naked eye, and nearly insignificant). There’s expected age-related surface wear to the gold. Otherwise, this ring is in excellent vintage/antique condition.
