Navette Rings

Found these three beauties. I think they are late victorian Navette rings, any help would be appreciated on these!

 

Are there stamps inside ??

 

14 k on ruby, other 2 tested for 14k but no other marks

 

The 3 were sold together?

 

Yes estate sale

 

Are the 2 green ones a matched pair? And are all 3 approx. the same size? (See how they fit on one of your fingers & tell us which finger you used.)

 

look art deco to me.

 

They look Asian made to me. Maybe India, with that irregularity.
Although navette rings were fashionable during the Victorian era, they are still being made. Seeing the mark could help, but no promises.

And if you have slender fingers, medium, or chubby.

Just so we know what the green navettes look like:

 

The ruby ring MAY be older and really should be inspected by a local antique jeweler. If memory serves me, synthetic rubies were being made for jewelry starting in the latter half of the 19th century. If natural, it does tend to add to the value. I think this may be a genuine antique ring on a cursory look.

Edit: forgot to click and enlarge - I am not so sure I like the finish work on this one so back on the fence I go.

The two green stoned rings, as noted above, look like modern pieces designed to look old. It is becoming a problem unfortunately. I would double check they are solid gold as they are selling a lot of gilt sterling antique reproduction rings on eBay coming out of India. Again, I would see a local antique jeweler and have these reviewed.

the first is suspect because the other two are suspect in my opinion

I do love the look of these though! Very pretty regardless.

 

No, not very European looking, or Western in general. I think they are all Asian (Indian?) made.

Absolutely.

 

Navette style rings new term for me. Thanks for using specific terms in posts. I have a on going file in my google drive that is title Antiquer's Tidbits. I just keep adding. To search it I have to scroll through the whole thing which keeps the terms fresh in my mind.

 

Navette is the shape. It is a French word meaning a weaving shuttle (is that the right word?), although it can also be understood to mean a small ship.
