18ct gold four stone ring, mounted with three sapphires and two diamonds. This lovely ring would date from early 20th century, maker is Willam J Holmes, of Birmingham, England. The mount is hand finished, cast made. The two diamonds are grain set, old European cut of approx. 3.5 to 3.7mm by 2.5 to 2.6 mm. They are estimated to total 0.40carats. We have a valuation on this ring, and the diamonds are assessed as Good old make, F-H colour, I1-I2 clarity.
The three sapphires are grain set, round mixed cut - one is approx. 4.3 mm and the other two are 2 - 3.2 mm diameter. They are estimated to total 0.60 carats and are dark violetish blue of very good quality.
Condition: The sapphires have abraded crowns, commensurate with age and having been worn. One diamond is loose in the setting, but appears to be secure. The shank is slightly out of round - it has been sized at some stage, this having cut the date letter off the hallmark.
