Edwardian 1908 Ruby and Old Cut Diamond Five-Stone 18K Gold Antique Ring
1908
About this piece
This elegant Edwardian five-stone ring dates to the early 20th century and is a beautiful example of refined turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, the ring is set with an alternating row of two rich pink rubies and three old-cut diamonds.
The stones are claw-set in a low, softly scalloped gallery that allows light to enter each gem while keeping the ring practical and comfortable. The diamonds display the subtle, characterful brilliance typical of early cuts, while the rubies add warmth and depth to the composition. The slender band tapers gently toward the setting, giving the ring an elegant profile on the hand.
Five-stone rings of this period were often gifted to mark milestones, symbolizing love, commitment, and continuity. Timeless in style, this piece works beautifully worn alone or stacked alongside other antique or modern rings.

Tiffany’s note
Five-stone rings were the classic Edwardian way to mark a milestone, and this is a beautiful example. The alternating rubies and old-cut diamonds give it warmth and sparkle in equal measure, and the low setting makes it wonderfully comfortable to wear.
Ring size and resizing
Antique rings are one of a kind, so each one comes in the size it was made or last resized to. This ring’s current size is listed in the details above.
Most antique rings can be resized by a skilled goldsmith, though some designs can’t be changed much without affecting the setting. Message us with your size before you order and we’ll tell you what’s possible for this ring.
If your ring needs resizing, we’ll have it done before it ships. Resizing usually takes 7 to 10 days, and we’ll email you to arrange delivery once it’s ready.
Caring for an antique ring
An antique ring has already lasted a century or more, and a little care keeps it that way. Take it off for the gym, gardening, cleaning and swimming. Store it on its own so stones don’t scratch each other. Clean it gently with warm water and a soft brush, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners. Have the claws and setting checked by a jeweler about once a year.
