NATURAL GOLDEN QUARTZ 10K YELLOW GOLD RING WITH BRILLIANT CUT DIAMONDS JEWELLER CERT R15'000 incl

ELEGANT SOLITAIRE NATURAL GOLDEN QUARTZ 10K YELLOW GOLD RING WITH DIAMONDS

This sophisticated piece features a round-cut orange quartz solitaire set in 10K yellow gold elongated claws that is bracketed by 8 small, brilliant-cut diamonds (four on either side) claw set in 9ct white gold on either side. The contrast is quite beautiful, and the 10mm wide x 7mm long ring head sits on an openwork cage that holds the gemstone 5mm above the finger. Golden quartz is one of the more unusual members of the quartz family - this one has a deep citrine-like fiery gold colour. The faceting is beautiful, bringing out the clarity and colour of the stone. The polished 10K yellow gold shank emphasises the elegance of the piece. The pedigree of the piece is evident in the many hallmarks: the Birmingham Assay mark, the jeweller's signature, the 375 hallmark indicating 9K gold (the white gold around the diamonds), 10K indicating 10 carat gold, and the date hallmark for 2014. The piece weighs a good 2,15 grams and sits snugly and comfortably on the finger. I have had the ring authenticated by an independent jeweller and her certificate for insurance purposes of R15'000 will accompany the ring.
