Surprise your favorite lady—or treat yourself—with this exceptional vintage Italian estate ring!
This exquisite Mid-Century Italian 14 karat solid yellow gold floral cluster ring, dating to approximately the 1960s–1970s, is beautifully crafted in a sculptural daisy or flower-burst design. It is prong-set with six round-cut natural diamonds and eight round-cut natural rubies.
The center diamond measures approximately 2.2 millimeters in diameter and weighs an estimated 0.04 carats. The five accent diamonds each measure approximately 1.9 millimeters in diameter and weigh an estimated 0.029 carats each, for a total estimated diamond weight of 0.185 carats.
The eight natural rubies each measure approximately 1.7 millimeters in diameter and weigh an estimated 0.02 carats each, for a total estimated ruby weight of 0.16 carats. Total estimated gemstone weight for the ring is 0.345 carats.
The ring measures approximately 14.66 millimeters (just under 5/8 inch) across the top (along the finger) and tapers to 1.75 millimeters (just over 1/16 inch) at the shank. It weighs 4.78 grams and is currently a size 5 3/4, though it can be resized by your local jeweler.
The inside of the band is stamped 14K and BREV, an abbreviation of the Italian word brevetto, indicating a patented or licensed design. Expected light surface wear consistent with age; otherwise, good estate condition.
We are listing several pieces of estate jewelry, along with other treasures fresh from fine North Carolina estates.

If there is a concern or doubt, please ask prior to purchase. Remember that color is a very tricky thing to transmit electronically. There are many variables, including lighting, background, physical filters, digital filters, the capabilities of the monitor on which the image is displayed, and the color perception of the viewer.
We purchase our items primarily at auctions and estate sales.
We purchase from reputable auction houses and dealers, and we test all gems and precious metals. While we are not experts, we try to list each item in as much detail as possible. We cannot describe every tiny nuance; therefore, please use the zoom feature and consider each picture carefully.
All of our jewelry items arrive in a gift box. If you would like a more impressive gift box, we have some available for purchase. If you would like non-jewelry items gift-wrapped, you can purchase gift-wrapping at checkout.
I ship all items the next business day after I receive them. First Class mail generally takes 3-5 business days in the U.S. Priority Mail takes 1-3 days in the U.S. However, please note that it took the US Postal Service 21 days to deliver one First Class package to California. Shipping to other countries can take 2-6 weeks via First Class International. If you need something for a specific date, consider using Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express.
