Antique Early Victorian 15k Turquoise and Pearl Ring

JEWELRY NERDS LISTEN UP!

This baby is 167 years old! This is an early Victorian piece... that I found in a scrap heap about to be melted! IN AMAZING CONDITION. This is such a rare find in good condition because: of it's age, the backs are not open which usually lead to erosion of stones (they only realized you should open the backs in the later Victorian period) and pearl and turquoise are softer stones so they definitely show wear on older stones.

WHAT IS THIS GALS STORY? Was she the prized possession of someone's British great great granny... was handed down to through the family to only be kept in jewelry box after jewelry box, unworn for years until she was finally passed onto a wife of a nephew who didn't know her value/just wasn't her taste? WE'LL NEVER KNOW... but we can finally get her worn once more! 

CARE: try not to let this beauty get wet as the closed backs don't let the water drain, which can cause damage

Size 5.5 (can be sized about one size either way while keeping the hallmarks)
