Antique Victorian Ruby Ring in 18 Carat Gold; Circa 1889

A wonderfully timeless Victorian ring. The sublime jewel dates to 1889 and has been made in a rich 18 carat gold.

The ring takes the form of a gently graduating band, giving it a lovely weight and presence on the finger while remaining super wearable. Across the top are five graduating rubies, each displaying a beautiful pinky red hue.

The stones are held within classic star settings, a particularly charming Victorian style that allows the gold to frame each gemstone while giving the rubies plenty of life and colour. Their graduating size creates an elegant rhythm across the band, with the larger central stone gently tapering towards the shoulders.

The combination of warm buttery gold and rosy pink rubies is wonderfully romantic, with the subtle colouring giving the ring a softness that feels quintessentially Victorian.
