This ring will so easily suit any occasion, as well as making a wonderful ruby anniversary gift or engagement ring, and regardless of what finger it is worn on, or for what occasion, there will be no denying that it is as attractive today as when it was made.
Dating from the early 1900's, this ring was made in 18 carat yellow gold and is set with three vibrant natural rubies that total 0.89 carats and display such a wonderful red colour that stands out so well.
Then on each side of the centre ruby, instead of there being one diamond there are two single cut diamonds that total 0.08 carats and add the right amount of sparkle to the ring.
Even the shoulders of the ring have a beautiful design to show the time and care that went into making this ring well over 100 years ago.

What are single cut diamonds?
These are small diamonds usually around 0.01 carats to 0.05 carats and are often found on the shoulders of rings. While today modern technology will allow for a 0.01 carat diamond to have 58 facets and be a round brilliant cut diamond, single cut diamonds were used from the later part of the 19th Century up until around the 1930’s-1940’s. Commonly found with eight facets on the top (the crown) and eight facets on the bottom (the pavilion) these are sometimes found with total facets between 16 to 18.
In recent years there has been such a resurgence for genuine antique cut diamonds. This is seen especially for engagement rings as many people realise that there is such a charm and character about antique cut diamonds.
