Antique victorian ruby & diamond ring, in 18 carat gold

The warm, buttery yellow gold throughout the band is a beautiful complement to the flush set adornment of four sparkly brilliant cut diamonds and a central beautiful, vibrant pink ruby. A crisp, unique piece, the domed lace-cut openwork gallery creating such a feeling of elegance and depth. Gorgeous lozenge shaped border details on the face, encasing each diamond either side of the ruby, with cannetille style beading to add further detail. This piece is bold and bright.

This ring is 161 years old - so much history and character behind it, a real treasure. Considering its age, it's extremely rare to see such a ring in such fantastic condition. This ring would make a stunning alternative engagement ring or wedding band. Five stone rings are said to symbolise the five traits great relationships hold: Love, trust, communication, commitment, and empathy - making this a meaningful piece. Rubies themselves signify love, passion and devotion.
