AN OLD CUT DIAMOND DRESS RING
OLD CUT DIAMOND DRESS RING,
the raised central section set with five old cut diamonds flanked by two rows of smaller diamonds totalling approximately 1.00 carat overall, unmarked, size K, 11.8g
Bidders must assume that diamonds and coloured gem stones (including ruby, emerald, sapphire, peridot, aquamarine) may have undergone a form of treatment unless otherwise stated. It should not be assumed that any diamond or coloured gem is untreated or is natural, unless accompanied by a gemmological laboratory certificate (which would be mentioned in the description). McTear’s will only describe gold/platinum/silver as such when a full UK standard set of hallmarks is present on the object. Other marks such as foreign import stamps will be noted in the description. As required by the Auctioneers Scheme, 20% vat will be applied to the hammer price on the sale of loose stones, which applies to diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires and those lots are marked with **.
Sold for £1,500
Estimated at £2,000 - £3,000
