Dimensions
Ring size approx. 19 mm; face 7.8 × 9.8 mm; weight 2 g.
Description
The ring is centered with an oval cabochon-cut Burmese ruby of deep purplish-red hue, flanked by two old European-cut diamonds. The gallery and shoulders are further set with old mine-cut diamonds, all mounted in a finely detailed silver-topped gold setting with openwork and engraved decoration. The combination of the richly colored ruby with the surrounding brilliant diamonds creates a striking contrast, characteristic of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The intricate filigree under-gallery adds both lightness and elegance, enhancing the vintage appeal of the piece. Burmese rubies, prized for their exceptional color saturation, are among the most desirable gemstones, and their pairing with antique-cut diamonds makes this ring a refined example of period jewel design.
