They were located in Pittsburgh for those seven glorious years, using the H of K trademark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ring is an excellent example of their work. You know how popular camphor glass was in the 1930s--well, this is actual etched quartz, the material the Victorians used. A very small diamond with a good twinkle is set in white gold in the center of the quartz's rays. I love the big midcentury prongs holding the disk in place, and the glow of the solid yellow gold. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition is very good. There is some wear to the gold; the side photo shows the most significant little scratch, which you do not notice unless you are looking very, very closely. The quartz is a little cloudy around the central feature (the diamond); a jeweler could take care of that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements:\u003cbr\u003e-ring size 7.5 \u003cbr\u003e-quartz face, north-south (exclusive of gold rim below): 3\/4 inch\u003cbr\u003e-bottom of ring face, including the gold rim: 7\/8\u003cbr\u003e-quartz face, east-west: about 3\/8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreshly cleaned and gleaming and ready to charm your finger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a nonsmoking, pet-loving environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking!\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"niddie-bone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42751507234969,"sku":"EXLKYW","price":365.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/product-image__QChXJh-compressed.png?v=1664315505","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/40s-50s-rare-h-of-k-14k-gold-ring-diamond-etched-quartz-by-house-of-kraus","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
