Wednesday Ring

A daring ring. Right in the center of this ring is a banded bullseye agate. I often personify all my jewelry, and I can’t help but think of how much she reminds me of the smart as a whip and plucky character, Wednesday Addams. The agate is as dark as it comes, leering to anyone who dares come close. Surrounding the agate are gentle touches: a rope border and a delicate pearl perimeter. She has signs of black enamel work around her edges, some of them are gone but all to assure you that this piece has history and is an antique.

Specification:
6.25 ring size
0.75” in length and 0.8” in height
Banded bullseye agate, seed pearls, and light enamel work. 9k gold.
Victorian era - hallmarks for the three wheatsheaves and a sword for the Chester Assay office. The Chester Assay office is rare as it closed in 1962. Non-legible hallmark for the date.

Please note that this is not brand new.

Care
Advanced – she’s very tall!

Cleaning
Advanced – closed back with pearls. You know the drill, don’t let her meet water.

Condition
Typical wear to the pearls, light scratching on top of the agate. One of the seed pearls has a dark mark on it. There is a little bit of instability and wobble around the pearl halo but has been confirmed by a jeweler to be safe to wear. Please also note there’s some lead solder on the backside of the ring.
