The Story:

Singular in every way, this ring features a mix of history and modernity: the featured gem is a created moissanite fit within a cool yellow gold mounting that is believed to date to between 1900 and 1930, showing characteristics of the end of the Victorian period, some of which timelessly persisted well into the late Deco years. The mounting boasts an eye-catching nature-inspired claw prong design set to the cardinal points, the north and south prongs showing an opened ‘fingerlike’ grip, and the east and west prongs a closed cusping of the edges of the stone.

These prongs appear as foliate as they do pelagic; they can be perceived as either unfurling acanthus leaves or the opened palm of a scallop shell. Both naturalistic references derive from the Rococo Movement that flourished during the earliest decade of the 18th century, and both forms are sensual and tactile, conveying a message of affectionate tenderness, and fidelity in partnership. The early decades of the 20th century, to which this mounting dates, saw a surge in Revivalist trends, carried over from the end of the 19th century, when archaeological re-discoveries revived interests in non-western cultures and themes, including interests in ancient Greek, Roman, Near Eastern and Egyptian worlds. Such inspiration of both the Rococo dynamism and Revivalism appears here, a notable mix of motifs indeed, especially when paired with such a chic choice as the modern moissanite.

Moissanites have been an excellent sustainable option to diamonds since 1893 when the mineral was discovered in a meteorite-caused crater in Arizona. Moissanites are naturally-occurring and found in small quantities in the Earth, though newer moissanites are grown in labs to preserve what deposits still remain in nature. In the case of this ring, the mounted moissanite are created, as they are later additions to this converted piece. While moissanites today can be grown in nearly any color, their creation process causes them to typically grow in the light green-bluish color family, of which the present moissanite identifies. Many colored moissanites appear to almost bear a super subtle haze (by comparison to perfectly clear and colorless stones), also shown here. Yet, this chroma is both bright and moody, an intriguing depth and variance that places it in its own category of glamor.

Moissanites are oftentimes mistaken for diamonds as their hardness, molecular makeup, and appearance can be nearly identical. Moissanites have a refractive index of 2.65 (versus diamonds at 2.42), a Mohs hardness of 9.25 (versus diamonds at 10). Even some contemporary diamond testing technology can have trouble distinguishing the difference between the two. Interestingly, moissanites rate higher than diamonds in both hardness and brilliance, meaning that they are far more durable and often sparklier than traditional diamonds. Because of these characteristics, moissanites are considered eco-friendly and are inherently conflict-free, making them incredibly desirable by the eco-conscious. These stones have long been circulating and adored as economical and sustainable alternatives to natural diamonds. This means that moissanites are just as wearable and just as impressive as diamonds, and can be obtained at a much more wallet-friendly value.

With an exquisite low profile and spready appearance on the finger, this ring showcases both its unique and interwoven history as well as its truly unparalleled color. This piece maintains its dual identities as a Victorian mounting and a contemporary stone, making it equally modern and sustainable. The moissanite is substantial and fascinatin, and appears to vary in undertone depending on the context and lighting. Great as a one of a kind engagement ring for the nontraditional bride or as an extraordinary statement ring for occasional wear, this stunner is utterly captivating.

General Information: All additional jewelry boxes, ring boxes, and other jewelry items pictured alongside a featured listing are considered props, are for photographic and display purposes only and are not included in the transaction unless otherwise noted. Items do not come with physical documentation, appraisals, or certifications, unless explicitly stated in the item description and/or title. While jewelry is inspected upon procurement by the shop as well as prior to shipment, Revival Fine Jewelry cannot guarantee a warranty once items leave our inventory, given the delicate and individual nature of secondhand articles and the unaccountability of buyer handling post-purchase.

Shipping: All orders are carefully packed within a branded Revival Fine Jewelry gift box, secured with recycled materials when possible, and shipped within a discreet outer shipping parcel. All orders ship with tracking, insurance and signature confirmation. Shipping options are presented at checkout. Per law and inegrity, international orders are always marked as commodity imports and customers are responsible for any and all customs expenses, VAT taxes and import fees, as well as any clearance costs legally dictated by their respective destination countries. These expenses are not calculated into the pricing structure, and returns based on import costs will not be permitted.

Returns: While Revival Fine Jewelry aims to provide a smooth experience from start to finish, customers are encouraged to reach out regarding any issue or dissatisfaction, so that we may work together toward a resolution. If a return is desired, the shop must be notified of an intention to return within 3 days of confirmed delivery, and item(s) must be shipped back to the shop within 7 days of confirmed delivery. All materials (gift box, inserts, cards) must be returned with the item(s). Returns declared after the 3 day window and/or postmarked after 7 days of receipt will neither be accepted nor refunded. Customers are responsible for generating an insured return shipping label (international customers included) and relaying the tracking information to Revival Fine Jewelry. Returns that do not include full insurance and/or tracking, and are damaged or lost in transit, will not be refunded. If a return is accepted, customers will be refunded less the original cost of shipping, handling and insurance, the expense of any damages incurred, and a 10% restocking fee (of the original purchase price). All sale items, items altered or resized by the buyer post-purchase, and all storage/ boxes are considered final sale and are ineligible for a return or refund.

Sale Terms: Sale prices are only valid within the prescribed sale window, unless otherwise stated by Revival Fine Jewelry or agreed upon between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer. To maintain business sustainability and general fairness, individual customers are not entitled to exclusive notification of, or owed access to, store sales antecedently. Orders processed prior to a promotion or sale, items placed on layaway prior to a sale, and payments paid through layaway prior to a sale will not be retroactively adjusted to reflect sale pricing or terms.

Specially Negotiated Deals: Items purchased at specially negotiated discounts, deals or prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer are considered final sale, including rates arranged and agreed upon via Facebook, Instagram, email or any other method. Closing deals at special rates reflects a desire by both parties to reach an expeditious and absolute sale. The intention of specially negotiated discounts, deals or sale prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer, is to eliminate extra expenses and/or use of time and resources to formally list or re-list items per their specific and inherent value-determining qualities, as well as avoid unseen overhead business costs, stocking obligations, and all other disclosed or undisclosed monetary and nonmonetary expenditures.

Pricing: Revival Fine Jewelry reserves the right to decrease, increase, alter and modify inventory pricing to meet market rarity, demand or value; to offset platform, transaction or seller's fees; to adapt to economic inflation and fluctuation; and to defray specific business expenses. Pricing is the sole discretion of every small business.

Regarding Brooches & Pins: Often significantly and curiously undervalued jewelry items, brooches, pins and stick pins are treasured pieces of history in this shop. Accordingly, their pricing is calculated analogous to other fine jewelry, including their symbolic meaning, rarity and historical prestige. Such pieces are typically converted to other forms of jewelry, and are therefore becoming increasingly rare in their original states. Aside from being perfectly wearable as sophisticated lapel ornaments, brooches and pins of all kinds are prime candidates for many kinds of fine jewelry conversions, including rings, earrings, pendants, and charms, if so desired by the consumer post-purchase. Revival Fine Jewelry does not perform conversion projects for customers.

Regarding Storage & Boxes: All specifications, including but not limited to the measurements, age, origins, and material compositions are supplied in good faith as professional estimations constructed using professional grade tools, years of learned and honed skills, educational resources and academic scholarship, and refined research methods. Regardless of our confidence in our descriptions and the photographs deemed viable extensions of these descriptions, we cannot guarantee the definitiveness, faultlessness, or exactitude beyond our knowledge and expertise. Kindly keep in mind that this and all items are sold as-is vintage, antique and estate secondhand wares, and consequently bear conditional wear in matter and operation commensurate with age and use.
