Made in the very early 20th century, between 1900-1910. A lustrous natural pearl sits between two old mine cut diamonds in a diagonal line. The two principal diamonds are each about .3ct and J-K-L/SI2, set in silver prongs. They're framed on two joined, offset bands glittering with about .18ctw of small rose cut diamonds, bead set in platinum-topped gold, bringing the diamonds to .78ctw. The ring's shank is yellow gold and stamped with French marks: an owl, which is an import mark, but the stamp is incomplete so the country of origin is unknown, and a swan, for silver content.
A previous resize is slightly visible, overall beautiful condition.
