This Art Deco ruby engagement ring in antique style is crafted in lavish platinum, weighs exactly 4.0g and measures 14mm wide and 4.5mm deep. In stunning contrasting Deco style, this alluring engagement ring exposes an eminent bezel-set 2.66ct oval-faceted ruby measuring a very sizable 9.61mm long and 7.98mm wide graded 'scarlet-red' color and 'fair' clarity. Mounted in a gracefully vaulted, finely mille grained ovular setting, this vividly-colored center-stone is surrounded by a concentric border of glowing European-cut diamonds, surmounting an elaborately pierced openwork gallery enhanced by asymmetric openwork profiles. Delicately shielded, descending shoulders embellished with kite-motif silhouettes and the curvaceous gallery are cumulatively adorned with 0.40cts of bead-set European-cut diamonds graded I-J color and VS-SI clarity range. This charismatic Deco style engagement ring concludes with a spherical platinum band and an easily sizable shank.

Ruby is considered one of the most valuable gemstones on earth and possesses all the pre-requisites for being a precious stone: a wonderful color emanating warmth, excellent hardness and overwhelming brilliance. India has for centuries been known as the original country in which rubies were mined, Indian literature regarding this gemstone is saturated with knowledge inherited throughout generations. In the Sanskrit, ruby is called 'ratnaraj' which translates as 'King of Gemstones' and indeed rubies continue to decorate the insignia of many royal houses in various parts of the world. A red variety of the corundum mineral, ruby consists of aluminum oxide and chrome as well as minor proportions of other trace elements. In really fine quality, this gemstone is mined only rarely all over the world and responsible for this scarcity is the color-creating element chrome. The journey to the most important ruby occurrences of the world would lead us to Burma, where the most luxurious category of ruby is mined bordering the neighboring country of Viet Nam where rubies display a slightly purplish hue. Ruby is also mined in Thailand, Ceylon, Northern Pakistan in the Hunza Valley or in Cashmere, Tadzhikistan and Afghanistan.
