This Original Antique SIGNED Ostby & Barton 1920's Art Deco Solid Sterling Silver & 10k Solid White Gold Ring is beautifully bead set with a Beautiful 2.5mm Natural & Genuine Antique Cut Diamond. This Antique Single Cut is a hybrid between an Antique cut popular from the 1500's up to the 1900 and the top of the diamond is cut like an Antique European Cut. These Old European Cut gemstones came into existence after the Old Mine Cut variety yet prior to the round brilliant diamond cuts of today, sometime during the 1880's and were used well into the Art deco period in the 1920's. The Old European Cut Diamond has a few unique characteristics to it which enables individuals to identify them. Characteristics such as rounded appearance and hand faceting production are all traits which correspond with the Old European Cut Diamond. The reason for the diamond to be cut in this manner is so that the light is brought in at such an angle that the vision which those gazing upon the diamond perceive is one of brilliance and fire. This diamond has very nice color and clarity and is guaranteed to be both Genuine & Natural. As far as clarity it is conservatively in the VS range because we can see no visible inclusions using a 10x loupe. As far as color it is hard to say because it is mounted in white gold mount so our best estimate is that it is in the K-L range. This Diamond is in PERFECT PRISTINE CONDITION free of any chips, nicks, cracks, or scratches. This ring has been set with a 10k Solid White Gold Diamond mount in which the diamond has been expertly bead set. The shoulders of the setting are beautifully reticulated. The interior of the ring is also fully hallmarked with the maker's mark "OB" which is the hallmark for Ostby & Barton an extremely collectible and sought after vintage brand.

Due to differences in measuring devices and the way certain types of rings fit these rings should only be sized in person by your local jeweler. Sizing by your local jeweler is relatively inexpensive and you will have a ring that properly fits your finger. All size 9 rings are not the same. The ring may fit on a mandrel and measure as a size 9 but the way the ring is made, the way the ring has been enlarged or reduced, and the finger type you have may make it fit like an 8 or 10 or worse. Have your sizing done in person for a proper fit.If you don't know your ring size you can Google search findmyringsize and use their online tool.

The wide measurement is the width of the ring from outside to outside at the widest point when looking at the ring from the top.
