19th Century Daisy Ring, Certified Fine Pearl, Diamond Setting On Yellow Gold, Dated 1882

This daisy ring dates from the 19th century, as evidenced by the engraving inside (1882). It features the characteristic shape of rings from this period, with refined craftsmanship and shoulders on either side of the central daisy. Made of 18k yellow gold (750/°°, eagle's head hallmark), it is adorned in its center with a superb, fine button-shaped pearl of considerable size, measuring 7.2/7.3 mm in diameter. This exceptional material, formed spontaneously and composed solely of mother-of-pearl, is found only in antique jewelry. Rare in this size due to its unique composition, it also possesses incomparable luster and brilliance, as well as a subtle and distinctive color, ranging from gold to bluish-purple. Its high gloss and the quality of its surface cause it to capture the colors around it, so its color is changing, and the white marks or lines appearing on its surface in photos are in fact only reflections. It sits at the center of a setting of sixteen fine, old-cut diamonds, delicately set within an equally refined basket. The band itself is quite substantial and engraved on its inside with a name and the date April 13, 1882. The ring has been examined by the French Gemmological Laboratory (LFG, formerly CCIP), which issued a certificate attesting to the pearl's nature as a fine pearl and providing its characteristics.
