looking for a solitaire that transcends eras and manages to be both floral and bold all at once? perhaps this late art nouveau blossom-adorned plump tank-leaning solitaire is exactly the vision. And, it features what appears to be an extremely rare green iris quartz, meaning that the green quartz has a rainbow iridescence, which translates into a rainbow sparkle stone on your finger.
solid 14k yellow gold + green quartz — this stone has not been evaluated by a gemologist, rather an electronic gem tester was used. And, it appears to be original to the setting and a colored quartz stone would have been a likely choice in that era, and green iris quartz hasn't been easily available for a long while, so clues are pointing us toward this being a lovely stone in its original setting. could you adopt this setting purely for the mounting with plans to add your own stone? of course, but if that's your plan let's chat. the ring has been priced for the setting, not the stone, so if you don't have plans for the stone let's work together to make sure it has a proper next chapter

in good almost antique condition
for its age this ring does not have the wear patterns we'd expect, but we know that it spent the last few decades tucked away in a dealer's hoarded stash of vintage treasures and before that it must have been stored more than it was worn.
-blossoms are very crisp for their age with minimal wear to their design details
-heavy patina throughout the design details offering depth of color, but also a brassier hue than the yellow gold's base hue
-the stone is a bit loose in the setting
-the stone has some wear along the facets, especially around its table
-minor evidence of a previous sizing at the base of the band
