A striking, late-Victorian-era cluster ring, modeled in 18k rose gold, whose primary gemstone is a natural, untreated, 1.53 carat Burmese ruby. This exquisite, deep-red, cushion-shaped gem is held in ten claw-like prongs,where itis surrounded by a halo of ten glinting, rose cut diamonds. These soulful, hand-cut diamonds have domed faces with charming, irregular facets— they are mounted in silver seats,where they are held in place by a series of modified, rose gold prongs. The ring's open work gallery is crisp and crown-like. Its cathedral shoulders featurefleur-de-lis style decor, with a subtle bound detail at the base. The ring's half-round shank is reeded. Larger,no-heatrubies are increasingly rare— we love the way this vivid red gemcontrastswith the white, mirror-like sparkle of the rose cut diamonds thatsurround it.This old darling would make an outstanding engagement ring!
