Art Deco ruby and diamond ring

Sitting perfectly on the finger comes this stunning Art Deco ruby and diamond marquise shaped ring that dates from the 1920's and truly looks amazing on the finger. With such an elegant design to it, this ring exemplifies why genuine rings from the Art Deco period are continually so sought after and the design will easily allow it to be worn on any finger for any occasion, including making a wonderful example of an Art Deco engagement ring to wear all the time with pride. Beautifully hand made in 18ct yellow gold, the ring is set with a 0.50 carat marquise cut diamond that accentuates the ring so perfectly. Surrounding this marquise cut diamond are a very clever use of two different cuts of diamonds - the European cut diamond and mine cut diamond, and the way these diamonds graduate in size so well shows how much detail and care went into hand making this ring all those years ago. At each end are three European cut diamonds and then leading down each side are eight mine cut diamonds. (What are European and mine cut diamonds? Find out here: https://www.kalmarantiques.com.au/articles/a-brief-history-of-the-cutting-of-diamonds/ ) These diamonds total 0.32 carats and then to further highlight the ring, there are an additional three European cut diamonds set on each band that total 0.06 carats. And to really highlight the ring are those wonderful rubies that really set this ring off so well and make it stand out day or night. There are a total of thirty eight rubies that total 0.38 carats and again show why there is nothing quite like the style and design found in so many rings of the Art Deco period. Measuring 22.3mm by 9.1mm across, this Art Deco ruby and diamond ring is just magnificent from all angles and will truly be loved all the time. Stock# ES7375 Circa: 1920 $Sold.

Here is an incredibly beautiful and unique Art Deco ruby and diamond "swirl" ring dating from the 1920's that looks as fabulous today aw when it was made. Beautifully hand made in 18ct gold and platinum, the design of this ring is so wonderful and has such a fluid design to it that captivates the eye. Sitting proudly in the centre is a gorgeous antique European cut diamond measuring 0.38 carats that has such a wonderful sparkle to it which is further enhanced by the incredible design of this ring. Swirling around the diamond in an interlocking design are a total of twenty one square cut rubies and twenty one rose cut diamonds.

The setting of the rubies and diamonds are all millgrain set which was a popular technique during the 1920's and can be seen as the elegant crimping along the edge of the setting which adds that extra charm to the ring.
