An exuberant genuine mid century period large untreated pastel lavender jade sunflower ring in solid 14 karat gold with untreated amethyst and untreated diamond accents as the petals of the sunflower, 13.64 carats total gem weight.
The beautiful jadeite jade in this wonderful vintage ring is untreated. Apart from normal cutting and polishing it is as mined. These days most jade seen in modern rings has been acid treated, soaked in plastic resin and dyed. Untreated jade is immensely more valuable than modern treated jade. This lovely large 9 carat jade cabochon is delicate pastel violet in color. It is translucent and catches the light beautifully. The lovely and subtle shade of lavender varies slightly in warmer lighting conditions and cooler lighting conditions. In some lights delicate natural inclusions typical of untreated natural jadeite jade can be seen which are just lovely and attest to the fact this large lavender jade is absolutely untreated!
The lovely sunflower cluster itself measures approximately 15/16" wide (24mm) and is 1 1/8" (28mm) long down the finger and it rises 9/16" (14mm) high off the finger making a big statement when worn - actually it is hard not to stare at this beautiful large jade flower ring!
The total untreated diamond weight is 0.24 carats. These 8 diamonds are round brilliant cut, VS/SI clarity and G/H/I in color.
The total untreated amethyst weight is 4.40 carats. These 8 beautiful untreated natural amethysts are a vibrant beautiful purple and just such a stunning color contrast to the wonderful untreated large lavender jade!
The total weight of the jade, amethyst and diamonds is 13.64 carats.
A metal fineness mark of 14K has been stamped inside the shank, meaning solid 14 karat gold, this confirmed by testing. It weighs 8.36 grams.
It is a size 6 1/4 US. It can be resized within a range.
This stunning ring is luxurious, bright and big! It makes a big splash on the hand and is perfect as a statement ring, a wonderful cocktail ring, a divine birthday celebration ring, a very unique engagement ring or dazzling anniversary ring!
The untreated nature of the large lavender jade cabochon makes this ring an ideal choice as a family heirloom ring to be passed down to future generations.
