Vintage 14k and Diamonds

 

 

 This ring was re-created from a 95 year old gold band.  

The original was too small and too thin from from wear.  The original also had one very small ruby.  These diamonds were a set of earrings and are approximately 3/8 carat each or .75 total carat weight and very clear and bright.

The mark here is a Russian gold mark, "56" is in relation to .585 or 58.5% gold, 14k.  The inner shank here is white gold, 14k

 

 

This picture shows the small ruby the ring had, and the pair of earrings.

This was carving out a place for the settings, to lower them in.

 

Hit it with the torch to 1,400 degrees.
