Part of the rarity of this Victorian 15 carat Gold Cocktail, Dress or Engagement Ring is in the fact that it has been impressed with a full Chester hallmark, the Chester assay office was closed down in August 1962 and pieces that bare this mark have become harder to find as they are more desirable to the serious collector. The condition is used and Excellent for its age. This Victorian Boxed 1898 Chester Hallmarked 15ct Gold, 3 Ruby & 18 Natural Seed Pearl Set Ring has No Dents that I can find, all 3 rubies and natural seed pearls are still firmly set and not loose, the English. 625 standard 15ct or 15 carat gold Chester hallmark dated 1898 is still clearly legible although as this boxed Victorian ring is a used antique it does have some damage to the very edge of one end of its upper body and the outer body of the antique box is scuffed, the boxed ring has some extremely minor surface scratches, marks and wear from use along with the patina of age that is to be expected and a gentle clean would not go amiss. Personally I think that this antique ring can still be worn or given as a gift today and that it would make a superb addition to any jewellery collection, I also think that it has a delightful look about it considering that it’s almost 120 years old.
