Archduchess Marie Valerie Diamond Ring
If you are a lover of European Royal history, this is the piece for you. The center diamond belonged to Archduchess Marie Valerie - the youngest daughter of Emperor Franz Josepf Habsburg. She was her mother's favorite daughter and therefore it is quite likely that this stone, at one time, belonged to Empress Sisi herself.
The Old Mine cut weighs in at 3.286 carats - graded at VS2/J. It's flanked on each side by two Old Europeant Cut diamonds weighing in at another .47 carats total (SI1-2/I) and set in a plantinum mounting that can be sized to fit.
Please note in the images the original grading certificate from the Austrian Gem Lab, a letter from the Royal Jewelers (for the last 5 generations) stating that the great, great grandaughter of the Archduchess sold the stone back to the jeweler and a current appraisal of the ring by our GIA trained appraiser. We added some photos of Marie Valerie, just for fun.
