Art Deco ruby and diamond ring

Jewellery of the Art Deco period of the 1920's either created a design all of their own, or took an existing design and somehow magically made it unique as can be seen here in this lovely Art Deco ruby cluster ring set with European and rose cut diamonds. Hand made in 18 carat gold and platinum, in the centre is a vibrant natural ruby that measures 0.27 carats and displays such a strong red that stands out even more set amongst the diamonds. And making this cluster ring unique and special, it is set with four European cut diamonds and four rose cut diamonds. The European cut diamonds total 0.20 carats and the rose cut diamonds 0.12 carats and give this ring such a wonderful and unique look. Measuring 9.2mm in diameter, this ring sits so perfectly on the finger and would suit any occasion including making a wonderful and unique engagement ring and shows why genuine Art Deco rings are as popular today as when they were made all those years ago.   Stock# ES8128 Circa: 1920 $Sold

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?

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 rubies are all matched so well for colour and clarity which would have been such a time consuming exercise to find and cut to perfect size all those years ago, and they total 0.21 carats and the additional diamonds total 0.14 carats and add the right amount of sparkle to an already incredibly beautiful ring. 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. Measuring 13.1mm by 12.1mm from left to right, this ring sits so well on the finger and no matter where or when it is being worn, there is no doubt that it will always be admired and commented on for its beautiful unique design.
