PENTAGON Victorian Cabchn TURQUOISE Seed Pearl 10k Rose Gold Cluster Floral Ring

Description

I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world.  Please see my other offerings and thanks for stopping by!
ABOUT:
Very uniquely shaped cluster ring in 10k rosy gold ring from the turn of the century with cabochon turquoise surrounded by beautiful iridescent cream to gray seed pearls.  I love the 5 sided pentagon shaped face.
This is an antique piece that I acquired in England from the Victorian period.  I wonder with the closed back if it may have been a mourning piece?
HALLMARKS:
The hallmarks have worn but the dealer I bought it from told me it was 10k. I also acid tested it to confirm.
MEASUREMENTS:
Currently measures a size 8 1/4.  The face of the ring is about 9mm.
CONDITION NOTES:
All my pieces are preowned and in estate condition.  There is a chip to one side of one of the darker turquoise, not super visible to the naked eye but you can see it in the zoomed photos when you look at it from an angle towards the chip.  Under magnification I think I see a bit of adhesive residue as well, not visible to the eye.  The ring face presents slightly lighter in color to the rose gold shank but still appears gold, it is a bit muddy under magnification, I don't know if the prongs were fortified or if it was just made that way.  Evidence of sizing on the back of the shank with some dark spots on the inside of the shank where it was connected.  Not visible when worn.  From the outside of the shank, there are just two tiny linear seams in those areas but the ring is nicely shaped, perfectly round and the shank is sturdy.  And then there is some Surface wear from use and wear to the gold band commensurate with age.  It is still nicely shaped and all the stones seem secure.
Like all antique jewelry, please handle these rings with care.  I don't see any loose stones or anything, but I just always recommend special occasion and gentle wear on these very old pieces. : )
Very sweet piece from a very special era.  I enjoy making my customers happy and matching unique pieces with new homes.  Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!  It means a lot to me that you are visiting my shop! : )
