(NOTE: Please read the listing description - this ring is being offered as a worthy restoration project) From a forgotten box in my office closet and a Green Valley estate south of Tucson some twenty years ago is this rather spectacular "wreck" - a well loved Art Deco or perhaps Edwardian era 14K white gold openwork statement ring with an appealing aesthetic sensibility and an eye catching 18x8mm (visible size) fancy cut synthetic ruby. That large centerpiece (I tested and it does come up as a ruby) was never meant for any shy flower. The elongated hexagon features an ample table for eye catching presence - while I don't know the carat weight, it must be considerable. All that said the ornament shows evidence of long wearing and would benefit from some TLC to bring it closer to its former glory. Accomplish that and you might resurrect an antique treasure, one that deserves the effort and "saving". A period size adjustment removed the mark, so for those of lesser faith I guarantee the mount is fine gold. Weight is good at about 4.1 grams on my portable digital scale. Condition is fair to good though of course not pristine perfect, with a distinct aura of time to the surfaces. The ruby is secure in the mount, with some surface scuffs and light scratches to the table and typical wear at the facet edges (also a bit of remaining grunge on the back of the stone, so a cleaning would certainly not hurt). It still makes an impression, just be sure to keep those mentions in mind. The gold mount is still strong, though equally blessed with signs of extended finger duty and an ancient separation on one side of the bezel - while it served just so in the long ago, closing that small gap would help the appearance. The shank is a bit out of round from its period adjustment, a common circumstance  having no impact on wearing. So you know I'm describing a candidate for restoration and nitpicking for the obsessive in doing so. A look at those pics should also give a good idea of appearance and condition. Size is about 9 on my jeweler's ring mandrel (the bottom edge of the shank will reach that line on the mandrel with a small amount of extra space showing). About 13/16 in. (about 21mm) vertical at the front. This is a ring you either understand or don't. It was obviously a great joy for someone once upon a time. It can be so again - with a little help.
