Due to the rarity of the gold itself, it makes this ring a rare find indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• the band width is 3mm and 1mm deep\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• the ring weighs 2.7g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• the sapphires measure 2.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• the seed pearls measure between 1mm and 1.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the ring is in great condition and wears very comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: UK O\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e½ \/ US 7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill arrive in a little white box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you require any more photos or information, please don't hesitate to contact me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI post all my UK orders via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
