Black Star Sapphire in 10K Gold Pinky Signet Ring - SZ 3.75

Description: Eytan of Eytan's Designs has almost 50 years' experience designing, selling, buying, repairing, refashioning & appraising jewelry. In January, 2019 we started the slow but satisfying process of listing Eytan's inventory on-line so that Eytan can semi-retire and focus on his own designs. Please check back as we're listing new items every week -- all fine jewelry in a range of styles and all priced with an emphasis on fairness and realism! A sleek, classic Victorian style -- the black (actually brown) star sapphire signet ring. This particular star sapphire is ornery -- it's hard to get that star to show and it's not very prominent. The stone is still pretty, however. It's got a lot of silk, so even when the star doesn't come out, a nice silver sheen usually does. The sapphire is around 6mm in diameter and 4mm in depth, so we estimate a weight of 1.5 carats. The cigar-style ring tapers from 8.4mm tall in front to 3.6mm in the back. The band is 0.9mm thick. The inside of the band has old-style stamps. The maker's mark looks like "JG." No idea. The purity stamp is a stumper. It looks like "18K" but the ring doesn't pass an 18K acid test. It doesn't pass the 14K test with much conviction but passes 10K with flying colors, so this suggests 12 karat, but the purity mark doesn't look like a "12," so we're calling this 10K and leaving it at that. Size 3.75 - can be resized. 2.99 grams
