Edwardian Flower Form Ruby & Diamond Cluster Ring
in 18k & Platinum
* * SOLD * *
A striking, Edwardian-era, old cut diamond halo ring, modeled in 18k yellow gold and platinum, whose face calls to mind an eight-petaled flower. This ring's central gem is a vibrant, highly-saturated, natural, old mine cut ruby (approx .40 carats). It is held aloft in platinum prongs, where it is surrounded by a series of eight old European cut diamonds— these are held in smooth, platinum bezels. Our diamond petals are white and eye-clean, with the charming irregular sparkle these beloved old, hand-cut diamonds are known for! The ring's fancy, three-way-split shoulders are collared. Its yellow gold shank tapers slightly toward the base. We love this classic form, and the vibrant pop of color this wonderful old ruby provides! The proportions, here, are especially lovely.
