An
exquisite one of a kind original antique untreated natural star and
cat's eye ruby and fine white diamond handmade 18K white gold filigree
art deco engagement ring circa 1920. This glorious unique original art deco wedding band is all original to the period and is almost 100 years old! It
is a one of a kind couture designed piece set with astonishing natural
gems. The quality and color of the fine star rubies is just astonishing.
These amazing rubies have a vivid red pink color which is perfectly
matched across all three precious stones. What is more astonishing is
the exceptionally sharp star you see in the two smaller rubies. It is
very rare to see this in natural star rubies. The large fine central ruby has a cats eye effect which is beautiful and so eye catching. These
stones are collectors gems on the market today and are completely
untreated - they have not been diffused to create the star effect nor
have they been glass filled to improve the clarity or beryllium treated
to improve the color. These are completely untreated unheated natural
earth mined pink red gem quality star rubies. I can't begin to express
how rare it is to find gems this quality on the market today. I love the divinely pretty asymmetrical filigree setting. It is elegant, delicate and very feminine. The
fine white VS clarity G color exceptional fine white diamonds are the
perfect accents to the astonishing precious cabochon rubies selected for
this ring. The color contrast between the perfect white of the diamonds
and the vivid precious gems is just gorgeous. In total there are 2.4 carats of natural untreated star and cat's eye rubies. The diamond accents themselves weigh 0.14 carats. This makes the total precious gem weight 2.54 carats. This heirloom quality dainty engagement ring looks beautiful from every angle. Currently this dainty diamond ring is a size 5 1/2 USA sizing. Please contact us about resizing. Full appraisal documents will accompany this lovely vintage engagement ring. It will be sent in a fine ring presentation box ready for gifting and for safe keeping forever. This
unique art deco wedding ring or engagement band could not be replaced
with a similar piece on the market today. It could take years of
searching to obtain rubies this clarity, quality, color match and size
which are untreated like these ones. Few modern jewelers could make a
setting like this by hand. The uniqueness and quality of this ring make it the perfect celebration of love.
