Overview:
Stylish vintage leaf vine ring crafted in 19k yellow gold (circa 1980s).
3 marquise cut sapphires measure 3mm x 1.5mm. Diamonds total an estimated 0.09 carats (estimated at H-I color and VS2-SI2 clarity).
Crafted in bright buttery Portuguese 19k gold, the ring features a bloomed hammered finish for a subtle glow, with an organic vine and leaf design. The wider band (9.5mm - 0.37 inches) is great worn alone as a statement ring or stacked. The band has a lower domed profile and rises 4mm or 0.15 inches from the finger.
The ring is in very good condition and was recently lightly cleaned and polished.
The piece was acquired on a recent trip to Portugal, one of Europe's most exciting destinations for discovering exceptional antique and vintage jewelry. Portugal's thriving antiques community, historic markets, and renowned art and antiques fairs provided access to remarkable jewelry with provenance, exceptional beauty and character. Each piece was carefully selected for craftsmanship, originality and history. I am delighted to share these newly acquired pieces. Please shop our site to view the entire collection.
