This authentic Victorian ruby and diamond ring is crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold and features a classic three-stone ruby arrangement accented by small diamonds. The rubies display rich, deep red hues and have a combined estimated weight of approximately 1.00 carat, with visual characteristics consistent with natural, unheated stones.
The rubies are complemented by old-cut diamonds totalling approximately 0.10 carats, set between the rubies to enhance brilliance while preserving the refined elegance typical of Victorian jewellery.
The ring is fully British hallmarked, clearly showing:
-
Crown – Gold standard mark
-
18 – 18ct gold fineness
-
Chester assay mark
-
Date letter “G” – corresponding to 1889, firmly placing the ring in the late Victorian period
The carved shoulders and traditional claw setting further support its Victorian origin, making this a highly desirable and collectible antique piece.
