Description
This Victorian ruby and diamond chequerboard-style ring is a captivating example of antique craftsmanship, dating back to circa 1900.
Designed in the classic chequerboard style, the ring features a beautiful alternating pattern of old-cut rubies and old-cut diamonds set into three rows. The design showcases eight rubies and seven diamonds, creating a stunning visual contrast and a timeless elegance.
The old-cut rubies, each with their rich red hue, are carefully selected for their vibrant colour and quality, while the old-cut diamonds—with their soft, antique sparkle—add a radiant contrast.
The old-cut diamonds, known for their rounded facets and charming, antique glow, are set in such a way as to catch the light from every angle, complementing the rubies beautifully. The arrangement of these gemstones creates a sophisticated and dynamic pattern that evokes the opulence of the Victorian era.
The carved setting adds a wonderful depth and texture to the ring, with intricate detailing around the stones that reflects the meticulous artistry of the time. The detailed shoulders further enhance the overall design, showcasing fine craftsmanship typical of the period.
The ring is crafted in 18ct yellow gold, as confirmed by the stamp on the inside of the shank, ensuring its authenticity and high-quality construction. The warm golden hue of the band provides a rich, elegant foundation that beautifully complements the vibrant rubies and the sparkling diamonds.
This Victorian ruby and diamond chequerboard ring is not only a piece of jewellery but a piece of history.
Its timeless design, combined with the beautiful rubies and diamonds, makes it an ideal choice for those who appreciate antique elegance and the artistry of the Victorian era.
