A little piece of Australian history! This ring was made by William John Coote, who was the brother of the founder of Angus & Coote (an Australian jewellery, watch, and giftware chain that opened in Sydney in 1895). It's a beautifully made piece consisting of two rows of alternating green and colourless paste stones. The stones show some normal signs of age (light abrasion), but are still lovely and sparkly, very much resembling emeralds and diamonds! This is an Australian piece that was made to last and has an amazing look and feel on the finger.
Size: L.5 (US size 6)
Weight: 2.9g
Markings: W.J.COOTE (William John Coote of Sydney, Australia), 18CT
Condition: Pastes are lightly abraded and back of setting is slightly worn, commensurate with age. Evidence of past resize (very faint).
Resizeable? Yes
Before you buy
How do you authenticate your pieces?
We carefully assess every piece using our gemmological training, specialist tools, and industry experience. We are both studying toward the Graduate Gemmologist (GG) qualification with GIA (Gemological Institute of America) and have completed the Applied Jewelry Professional (AJP) and Graduate Diamonds (GD) qualifications.
We also work closely with our jeweller, who has almost 50 years of experience and is a qualified gemmologist.
Carat weights are estimates based on measurements taken in the setting unless otherwise stated. Precise weights can only be obtained from loose stones. Many of our diamonds are old cuts, which are often asymmetrical and not calibrated due to traditional hand-cutting techniques.
We aim to provide clear photos and videos from multiple angles to help you purchase with confidence.
Do I have to pay tariffs or duties when buying from the US?
Yes - US customs may apply tariffs, duties or taxes on imported jewellery. Don’t worry! We ship all US orders with DHL Express, who handle the customs clearance for you. You can read our full guide here.
Do you offer layaway or payment plans?
We offer an interest-free layaway (lay-by) service on orders over $500 AUD - please get in touch using the form below to set this up. Full details can be found on our layaway policy page.
PayPal Pay in 4 is also available at checkout (subject to eligibility), which allows you to pay in instalments to PayPal while we send your piece out right away.
