Vintage Goldstone Gold Filled Ring Sz 6 North South Setting with Applied Leaves
An elegant ring, the elongated oval goldstone sparkles in the light. Goldstone is a man made material, a type of glass invented in Italy by monks centuries ago – or so the story says.
This ring likely dates from the first half of the 1940s, when gold filled used sterling silver as the base metal due to the war effort requiring all other base metals, like brass.
The goldstone is bezel set and the setting is adorned with applied leaves.
The ring is size 6.
The oval goldstone cabochon setting measures 7/8 inch (23mm) tall by 3/8 inch (9mm) wide.
The narrow band is 1/16 inch (2mm) wide.
