15ct Yellow Gold Sapphire and Pearl Ring
Couldn't load pickup availability
Here we have a beautiful antique gold ring featuring 3 sapphires and 6 seed pearls all in prong settings.
What makes this ring unique is that the shank is solid 15ct yellow gold; production of 15ct officially ceased in the UK in 1932 and it was replaced by the 14ct standard following a reformation of the jewellery industry.
Almost all 15ct gold jewellery is considered antique, typically dating from the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1854–1932). Due to the rarity of the gold itself, it makes this ring a rare find indeed.
This shank of the ring is stamped 15 625, Birmingham, 1896. Due to the age of the ring (over 130 years old), it seems that all the sapphires have been replaced with modern ones due to maybe past cracks, but all the seed pearls (bar one) are original to the era.
• the band width is 3mm and 1mm deep
• the ring weighs 2.7g
• the sapphires measure 2.5mm
• the seed pearls measure between 1mm and 1.5mm
Overall, the ring is in great condition and wears very comfortably.
Size: UK O½ / US 7.5

FAQs
Do you offer resizing or alterations?
I'm afraid due to lack of resources, I cannot offer any ring resizing or alterations at the moment, but I do recommend to my clients to reach out to their local jeweller for a quote on how much they would charge.
What condition are these pieces in?
All of my items are solid gold and are either modern, retro (over 20 years old), vintage (over 40 years old), or antique (over 100 years old) but they're all preloved/secondhand. Signs of wear and imperfections are more than likely (but isn't that just the joy of preloved and old jewellery?) so please make sure to double-check product information before purchasing to avoid any disappointment.
How do I know the metal purity is accurate?
All metal purities listed (e.g. 9ct, 18ct) are based on visible hallmarks present on the items. Where hallmarks are unclear or absent, this will be stated in the listing (e.g. tested for 9ct gold). All my items are solid – no plated or vermeil here!
How will my item be packaged and shipped?
All pieces are carefully packaged in a little white box with a gold string bow; for UK customers I send via Royal Mail Special Delivery to ensure they arrive promptly. For international customers, the same applies, and the delivery service is calculated at checkout. Items will be insured as per delivery service default limit.
What is your returns policy?
We want you to love your purchase. If you're not completely happy, please contact us within 14 days of receiving your item. As all pieces are one-of-a-kind antiques, we cannot offer exchanges, but we will do our best to resolve any issues.
