Pretty Antique Victorian 10K Gold Opal Diamond Bypass Ring C. SYDNEY SMITH NY 6

Description: A beautiful antique late Victorian or early Edwardian 10k gold opal and diamond bypass ring, marks of Charles Sydney Smith & Co., dating to circa 1900. Charles Sydney Smith (1828-1907) learnt the jewelry trade in Newark, New Jersey and began working for Sackett, Davis & Co., Providence, Rhode Island. He became First Lieutenant and Quartermaster in the Civil War before returning to Sackett Davis. In 1870 he partnered with Samuel W. Saxton to form Saxton, Smith & Co in New York, NY which made solid gold chains before opening his own store at 13 Maiden Lane, New York, NY. He was elected mayor of Providence, Rhode Island in 1890. There's nothing like Victorian opals for play of color and this truly stunning antique solid 10k yellow gold ring is no exception, the ring with a wonderful bypass setting with three gorgeous Victorian earth-mined prong-set oval opal cabochons which sparkle and flash with incredible amounts of fiery plays of color with blues, indigos, greens yellows, oranges, crimsons, purples, golds and reds dominant throughout the ever color changing stones, the opals highlighted by four sparkling diamonds on the bypass band-an absolutely gorgeous ring! The ring is stamped inside the band with the marks of Charles Sydney Smith & Co. The ring is unmarked and tests for 10k gold. The ring is approximately a size 6. The ring measures approximately 15mm x 8mm. The opals measure approximately 6.5mm x 4.5mm and together weigh about 1 carat, the diamonds measure approximately 2mm. The ring rises about 4mm above the finger and weighs approximately 2.2 grams. The ring is in excellent condition with all over general wear. Two of the diamonds look to have been replaced. The ring has been resized. Thanks for looking and please take a look at my other items! Pretty Antique Victorian 10K Gold Opal Diamond Bypass Ring C.

Terms of Sale TERMS OF SALE & RETURNS We make great efforts to honestly and accurately describe each item we list. We back this up with many photographs, all with a close-up zoom option for detailed inspection. Due to the majority of our items being antique/vintage and often unique it can be difficult to determine age and as such all our items are sold 'as is'. However, if we are not certain about the age of an item we will either not mention an age or say the item is being sold as a later or modern piece and then leave it up to more experienced buyers to determine the exact age. Items are not returnable if it was not of the age/value you were hoping it to be with no exceptions. If we place a date on an item we guarantee it to be of that period or earlier. If you require further pictures or more information about an item, please let us know prior to bidding or purchase. Items cannot be returned for any condition issues either shown in the pictures or mentioned in the listing. As many items we sell are one hundred years or older we will not accept returns for wear consistent with the item's age. Any item mentioned as sold 'as is' in the listing will not be eligible for any form of return or refund. If it is determined an item is eligible for a return, the item must be shipped back within 48 hours, insured and tracked. A restocking fee may apply. We are very easy to work with and welcome any and many questions during our listings, so please let us know if you have one! Thanks again for looking!
