"Onyx In Orbit" is this ring's given name. It must be a work of art! It really appears to always be moving like some superfast electrons around an atom!

This 18 karat yellow and white gold ring features an ellipse carved from polished, black onyx and approximately .33 carats of round, brilliant-cut, H color, VS-SI clarity diamonds on the white gold ellipse. The top of this ring is approximately 1 1/8" in diameter between the knuckles of the finger and it has a uniquely carved gallery for support that is attached to the doubled ring shank that tapers from pinched at the top to approximately 5.25mm at the bottom. This ring is US size 9. See below for sizing detail and other information. There is a hallmark that has been obscured. The hallmark is either "R" or ends with "R". See Provenance Information Below.

Provenance: The trustee of this estate states that he believe this ring once did spin, somewhat like a pinwheel. He believe this original owner of the ring had a jeweler alter the ring so it would no longer spin. Very close inspection of the gallery shows evidence of the alteration. The work is not easily seen, and seems to be quality workmanship.
