sometimes there's a vintage piece that's a bit of a mystery and this is one of those pieces. is it antique? maybe. in the style of an antique? definitely. in any case it's been reworked several times
center stone is a garnet and seems original to the setting, with wear to the facets to prove its age
side stones are replacements and test as moissanite
while the band has an antique hallmark, it appears that the antique band was a later addition as there are faint re-banding solder marks at the shoulders on either side of the setting
solid 14k gold with a rosy hue, though based on the weight the setting is likely semi-hollow, which could hint toward being a true victorian era piece
M E A S U R E M E N T S
size 8.25, but may fit more like a size 8 because the front of the band is ~7.9mm wide at the widest part of the setting
center of the setting at the garnet stone rises 4.2mm off the finger
center stone is ~6mm across and side stones are ~4.5mm across
weighs 3.8g

in good very vintage maybe antique condition
character quirks worth noting:
-chips and wear to the facets of the garnet stone
-moissanite replacement side stones will show very minor surface wear under magnification
-ring was re-banded with a seemingly antique band, but was done very well and the engraving on the shoulders was reworked at the rebanding seems
this is a very vintage item and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
