* * SOLD * *



An early twentieth century ring, modeled in 14k rose gold, whose primary gem is a round, blue-flash moonstone cabochon. This moonstone is held in a nest of eighteen bead-like prongs, where it is surrounded by a halo of eighteen silvery rose cut diamonds. These tiny rose cuts share prongs with the moonstone, and they are further secured by the ring's crimped outer bezel. The ring's shoulders are each decorated with a series of five, bead-set rose cut diamonds. Its gallery is embellished with tiny, scalloped, openwork details. This Hungarian ring is visually delicate, but substantially made. It is marked with a fox head, inside an elongated, hexagonal cartouche, indicating 14k gold purity and manufacture between the years 1872 - 1922.
This moonstone has a strong blue adularescence that is not communicated in our still photos.
