Hello all,
I collect natural Zircon (my birthstone) in various colors and couldn't pass up this unique design when I stumbled across it online. It's a 14K gold ring with pink grape clusters and four gold leaves that serve as prongs on a 6.5mm round natural Blue Zircon. It was described by the jeweler (U.S. based) only as "vintage". It has a Black Hills Gold appearance; however, I have personally never seen one with genuine Blue Zircon or with two colors of gold rather than tri-tone. (This ring doesn't have any green gold.) In addition, the BHG I have seen is 10K not 14K. The seller estimated the ring to be roughly 25 years old but I would guess older based on these observations?
There appears to be a hallmark bordered on either side by triangles/arrows and the letters "FFF". Anybody familiar with this hallmark?
Many thanks in advance .
