French Romantic era aquamarine gold ring

The central stone is a cushion cut aquamarine in an open back setting with an estimated weight of 3.5 carats. It is surrounded by delicate gold pellets, leading to shoulders with a classical Greek column motif.

Aquamarine has long been a symbol of eternal youth and happiness. Wearing an aquamarine amulet was even thought to make sailors fearless and invincible to the perils of the sea.

Please note, there are some light scratches on the culet and pavilion of stone; a very light hair line on the table of stone. However, the gemstone is intact and can be worn without concern. As the assessment of an item's condition is highly subjective, please click and enlarge our photos to examine more detailed condition highlights for your judgment.
