This cane handle is in great condition with some of the top clear coat glaze is worn from use but that is common on soft paste porcelain. There are some black marks on the top as well where the cane hit something dark and some of the dark color rubbed of onto the cane it seems. Should come clean if need be I would think.

It was popular with all of Europe's royalty during Renaissance and Victorian times. When seen under magnification. The coarseness of the finish of this 18th century amethyst tells us that it is obviously hand crafted. Rather than detracting from its value or allure, this is considered appealing to most collectors, who consider examples like this to be more desirable than today’s computer-controlled machine-produced gemstones.

Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Rubies were viewed as a stone of prophecy. Used by medieval shamans and sorcerers to divine the future. Ruby was also worn as a talisman, as it was believed that the stone darkened when danger was near, and then return to its original color when the danger was past. Consequentially rubies were considered even more valuable than diamonds. In Medieval Europe ruby was priced 8 times higher than diamond. Here's a nice quality 18th century antique hand shaped/faceted oval ruby precious gemstone ... morefrom Mysore, India. Though considered a"silky" ruby, because they are translucent and not transparent(i.e. it appears"silky" it nonetheless possesses great color and beauty. Most natural rubies have dispersed colorless crystalline material particles within the gemstone that while not individually discernible, when dense enough will nonetheless impart a translucent"silky" appearance to the gemstone. In other words, the ruby gemstones are not transparent, rather they are a translucent, silky blood red tone. These rubies are much more common than crystal-clear specimens. Natural rubies, like sapphires and emeralds, commonly have lots of internal blemishes. So long as these blemishes are colorless, they are"harmless" commonplace, and acceptable. The dispersed colorless crystalline material changes the nature of the gemstone from transparent to translucent. However the rich"ruby red" color is still preserved, and the gemstones can be quite breathtaking in their beauty and luster. In contrast, the very highest quality rubies appear as red colored glass; completely transparent. However such high-quality rubies can easily cost thou
