I trade in small silver, jewellery and objets d'art. I sell primarily at antiques fairs and in cabinets in Christique Antique Centre in Dorking. I try to find unusual and interesting stock and like to keep turning it over, so I can buy more. Postage and packing are free within the UK - unless explicitly stated otherwise. All fine jewellery will be supplied with a box. If the box/case is described in the text, it will be the one photographed, but may not be if it is not mentioned explicitly. I keep hardly any stock at home, if you want to buy something and need it urgently, I will usually do it the next day, but it may take me some time to respond if you need extra photographs and/or details about the piece that I do not have to hand, as I typically visit the antiques centre just once a week. If you don't see what you're looking for - feel free to send an enquiry via the site. I have only been able to list a portion of my stock.

Description
This is a very large, single-stone, purple sapphire, Chinese, high-carat, gold ring. Size Q/R. The ring is transverse set with a rectangular purple sapphire with scissor cut borders in a rub-over, closed back setting integral to the heavy gauge bright yellow gold band. The stone is approximately 12mm x 10mm. Because of the closed back, it is difficult to estimate the weight of the stone. A standard emerald-cut stone of this size would weigh over 5 carats, but this one is likely to be less deep. There are Chinese character marks to the inside of the band, indicating the purity of gold - the second characters says "gold", but the first character is rubbed.
