<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 11288623, member: 2844&quot;]A stunning ring, and congratulations on your engagement!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>From what I see, it looks Edwardian to me. One way to tell if it is a genuine oldie is to check the wear on the millegrain. A period piece should have wear, you will see that some rows of grains are more flat and smooth than others.</p><p>I think I see that on your photos, but you have it on your finger and can check with a loupe.</p><p><br /></p><p>French jewellery is marked. Some antique ethnic pieces have escaped the assayer, but a piece of this period and quality should be marked.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some Italian makers are faking old cuts for repro jewellery, but the stones look like they are cut by a toddler.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie102" alt=":yuck:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> They certainly don&#039;t have the charm and beauty of genuine old cuts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could you post a photo of the back (inside) of the head of the ring?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
