Victorian Ruby & Rose Cut Diamond Halo Ring

This sensational late Victorian engagement ring hales from a time when Rubies and Sapphires were the gems of choice in betrothal rings. This particular ring is set with a smaller round Ruby that packs a punch due to a perfect combination of pigeon’s blood red color, crystalline clarity, and great cutting. It is surrounded by a halo of rose cut Diamonds, all set in platinum-topped yellow gold, which add neutral sparkle to the piece. This ring is very comfortable to wear and has lasted over 100 years, since it does not sit too high on the finger, and the gems are set with smaller rounded prongs that are smooth to the touch. This ring has been professionally restored by us paying attention to every period-correct detail.

Details: Platinum over 14k yellow gold ring set with .35ct round Ruby (4.5mm) and approximately .40cttw rose cut Diamonds (SI JK), circa 1890.
