Antique 1895 18ct Gold Ruby Diamond Gypsy Ring
Description
This beautiful late Victorian ring, hallmarked for Birmingham 1895, is a timeless example of 19th-century craftsmanship and sentiment. Crafted in rich 18ct yellow gold, the gently domed band is set with a central old-cut diamond framed by two deep rubies, each nestled in hand-carved star and lozenge-shaped settings — a detail typical of the era’s romantic design language.
The gypsy setting was favoured in the late Victorian period for its durability and understated elegance, allowing gemstones to sit flush within the gold surface. Rubies symbolised passion and protection, while diamonds represented constancy and eternal love — together forming a classic union of sentiment and beauty.
Elegant and wearable, this ring captures the warmth and romance of the late 19th century, making it as meaningful today as it was over 125 years ago.
