A magnificent, mid-century statement cocktail ring crafted by the highly collectible American heritage maker ESEMCO (Shiman Manufacturing Company, Newark, NJ). This piece features an incredible, massive honey-amber oval-cut citrine cradled in an organic, sculptural foliate setting.
Item Highlights & Verification:
- The Hallmark: Clearly stamped "10K" alongside the historic "ESEMCO" maker's mark inside the shank.
- The Gemstone: A colossal round quartz measuring an impressive 16.1mm (Estimated face presence of approximately 13.5-14.5ct). Verified natural quartz/citrine via Presidium Gem Tester II.
- The Metal: Solid 10-karat yellow gold. Verified 10K through-and-through via non-destructive XRF testing.
- Total Weight: 7.77 grams (highly substantial gold weight for this era).
- Ring Size: US Size 6
- Design Era: Circa 1960s–1970s Brutalist/Foliate style, featuring thick, textured gold leaf prongs forming a beautiful open-basket gallery.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with light, honest wear consistent with age. The setting is structurally rock-solid, and all leaf prongs securely lock the massive stone in place. The citrine displays beautiful fire, clarity, and deep amber-gold tones under the light.
