This ring was hand made in the 1920's and is still as elegant and beautiful today as when it was made and will so easily suit any occasion, including making a wonderful engagement ring or ruby anniversary present.
Hand made in 18 cart yellow gold in the 1920's, the way both the rubies and diamonds are set lower into the band gives the ring such a unique look to it, and one that is sure to be admired.
Set with three lovely cushion cut natural rubies that total 0.57 carats, they are all so well matches in colour and look lovely n the yellow gold.
Highlighted with a European cut diamond set on each side of the centre ruby, these diamonds total 0.44 carats and have all the charm and character of being genuine antique European cut diamonds which are so sought after today.
The ring measures 4.1mm wide at the centre by 15.7mm across, and regardless of which finger that it is worn on, there is no doubt that it will always be loved and cherished.

What is a European cut diamond?
During the mid 19th century, the old European cut came into focus, and was an attempt to change the old mine cut stones into a more perfect round cut. These stones can be considered as the first true round brilliant cut diamonds. The facets from the old miners were kept in their same position, but changed shape to a more round and evenly shaped stone.
The culets became smaller, as it was realised that light could leak out from this point in the stone. The development of the modern brilliant cut occurred in the early part of the 20thcentury with further modifications through the century. Diamond cutters apply the brilliant cut to other shapes, and this very exacting skill continues to enthrall craftsman and enthusiasts alike.
