Lightly elevated shoulders flow into a substantial solid gold band, ensuring the ring remains balanced on the finger when worn. The exterior of the band bears French hallmarks, including the eagle’s head for 18ct gold and the dog’s head for platinum, affirming its quality and origin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Stones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSapphire weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.04ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSapphire size: \u003c\/strong\u003eLength 9.3mm; Width 6mm; Depth 6.2mm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal diamond weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.10ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Band\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Composition: \u003c\/strong\u003e18ct yellow gold and platinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks: \u003c\/strong\u003emarked with an eagle's head indicating 18ct yellow gold and a dog's head indicating platinum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Size: \u003c\/strong\u003eUK N \/ US 6.75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eSingle complimentary resize available, this ring can be adjusted up or down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ring Overall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Head Dimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003eLength 18mm; Width 15.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight of Setting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Wear \u0026amp; Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent: \u003c\/strong\u003eminor wear commensurate with age.
