A
mint condition original Art Deco handmade platinum ruby and diamond
ring circa 1930s set with exceptional vivid red earth mined rubies and
exceptional white earth mined diamonds. This sparkling couture hand crafted ring is an original piece from the art deco era and not a reproduction. I
have never seen another similar antique diamond ring to this. I love
the unique interpretation of the romantic sentiment of yesterday today
and tomorrow to symbolise eternal love. The gorgeous ruby accents which
are vivid red just took my breath away. They give this beautiful art
deco diamond ring an elegance and femininity which just shines when you
look at this piece. It almost has a floral look to it- it's exuberant
and happy. The selection of diamonds is wonderful they are each
perfectly matched for color and are excellent cut. Being old european
cut diamonds they are exponentially more fiery than modern ideal round
brilliant cut diamonds you see dispersion everywhere and the
scintillation is divine. In total there are 2.02 carats of
VS1/SI1 clarity I/J/K color diamonds which measure respectively 0.57
carats, 0.50 carats, 0.36 carats, 0.26 carats, 0.25 carats and 0.08
carats. These stones have excellent cuts and stunning polish. Just
the pretty vivid natural red earth mined unheated ruby accents alone
weigh 0.28 carats. Once again the attention to detail just shines as
each gorgeous gem ruby has been hand selected to match the others for
perfect red color and exceptional loupe clean clarity. Often in the art
deco era synthetic rubies were used in fine jewelry to achieve this sort
of color match as it is so rare to find rubies which perfectly match in
this astonishing red. Not so with this divine art deco platinum
engagement ring every ruby accent is a natural gem. The total ruby and diamond weight 2.30 carats. Currently
this heirloom antique old european cut diamond ring is a size 7 1/4 US
sizing. It can be resized 1 1/2 American sizes either way with ease. This
beautiful 1930s engagement ring could not be replaced with a similar
item on the market today. It is a one of a kind handmade piece from the
era set with the most perfectly cut exquisite quality gems all of which
are unheated. There would be few jewelers left today who could make a
ring like this by hand in solid platinum. Full appraisal documents shall accompany this glorious antique ring. It will be sent in a fine ring presentation box ready for gifting and for safe keeping forever. This
ring is one of my two favorite engagement rings we have in stock at the
moment. It just shines in it's uniqueness and quality. I have never
seen another like it.
