This ring is designed for the true connoisseur of antique gemstones. The combination of a certified natural ruby and old-world diamonds creates a timeless aesthetic that commands attention.
GIA Certified Natural Ruby: The centerpiece is a vibrant, natural ruby boasting a rich, saturated red hue, officially verified by the Gemological Institute of America for your absolute peace of mind. The ruby's origin is Burma and the ruby is untreated.
Old European Cut Diamond Surround: Encircling the ruby is a dense, high-impact cluster of natural Old European Cut diamonds. These antique stones are prized for their high crowns and unique "blocky" fire that modern cuts simply cannot replicate.
Elongated Navette Silhouette: The "little boat" or navette shape was the height of Victorian and Edwardian fashion, designed to flatter the hand by elongating the finger.
Solid 14k Yellow Gold Craftsmanship
Warm 14k Yellow Gold: The mounting is fashioned in a buttery yellow gold that provides a luxurious, traditional contrast to the cool fire of the diamonds and the warmth of the ruby.
Intricate Scalloped Gallery: From the profile, the ring features a stunning openwork gallery with delicate gold scrollwork, allowing maximum light to illuminate the stones from beneath.
Knife-Edge Tapered Shank: The band features a sophisticated knife-edge detail on the shoulders, tapering into a smooth, comfortable shank for all-day wear.
