Antique Victorian 18ct gold ring, featuring beautiful ruby gemstones and diamond chips. The ruby have an open back where the diamond are flat chips with a closed back. The gold setting has lovely scalloped detailing on either side of the gemstones. The ring has a number of hallmarks indicating the piece was hallmarked in 1894 in Chester, England from 18ct gold by G.P. The ring is conformable to wear and can easily sit with other rings.
Ruby is the birthstone for July, it is the colour of love, anger, passion and fury. It was believed those who wore rubies were bestowed good fortune, throughout history rubies were worn by emperors and kings. Still to this day we value the gemstone just as highly. The ruby is considered one of the four most precious gemstones in the world alongside Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond.
