Victorian 18ct Gold Ruby & Old Cut Diamond Trilogy Ring Circa 1890

Gorgeous Late Victorian 18ct Gold Ruby & Diamond Ring A particularly attractive late Victorian ruby and diamond ring, finely handcrafted in 18 carat yellow gold and dating to circa 1890. The ring is set with three beautiful graduated rubies displaying a rich, vibrant red with attractive raspberry tones. A larger central ruby is flanked by two slightly smaller stones, creating the classic graduated arrangement so characteristic of fine Victorian jewellery. Between the rubies are four sparkling old-cut diamonds, arranged in two pairs. The diamonds provide a lovely flash of white light against the deeper colour of the rubies and warm yellow gold, giving the ring a wonderfully lively appearance. The stones are set above an ornate Victorian gallery with attractive scrolling shoulders. The gallery retains its lovely original character, with some age-related wear to the sides consistent with well over a century of use. Weighing an impressive 4.5 grams, the ring has a reassuringly substantial feel while retaining an elegant appearance on the hand. The combination of ruby, old-cut diamond and 18ct yellow gold is quintessentially Victorian and has an enduring appeal. A charming and beautifully made antique ring that would make a wonderful dress ring, collector's piece or distinctive antique engagement ring.
