Applied across the surface of the stone is a delicate flower motif, set with a tiny pearl, creating the effect of a little flower blooming directly from within the purple stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe setting itself has a distinctly Gothic character, with its architectural form and rich gold colour giving the ring a wonderfully dramatic presence. The combination of the deep violet paste, luminous pearls and warm 18ct gold is particularly striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThere is also a trace of what appears to be an external hallmark to the ring, although this has been considerably worn through age and historical sizing. The surviving mark suggests that the ring may have a French or Continental provenance, although it is unfortunately no longer legible enough to confirm its origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eERA\u003c\/strong\u003e: Victorian \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHALLMARKS\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unhallmarked 18 carat gold - traces of an external hallmark possibly French\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINGER SIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e G (UK\/AU) 3.25 (US)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9 grams approximately.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is in lovely antique condition with little to fine patina over the ring and stone.
