18 carat antique ruby and pearl ring with a secret locket

Here is an absolutely gorgeous antique ring that is so beautiful to admire from every angle, from the top, the band and even from under.

Made in 18 carat in the 1860’s, this ring is made in a traditional cluster design of six pearls surrounding a ruby. The ruby measures 0.16 and stands out so beautifully surrounded by the pure white of the pearls. this top cluster section measures 10.2mm in diameter and then leads down to the most gorgeous band that not only has a wonderful design to it, but has also been beautifully and intricately hand engraved. The engraving is so beautiful to admire and shows how much time and care that went into making this ring all those years ago.

And then to make this ring even more exciting and romantic, looking at the ring from behind reveals a gorgeous locket compartment under the top section. This adds such a personal touch to the ring that is simply not seen on modern jewellery today.

So special and beautiful, this ring will no doubt always be loved and admired and such a wonderful conversation starter.
