This antique ruby engagement ring in Art Deco style with diamonds is crafted in lavish platinum, weighs 3.6g and measures 14mm wide and 6mm deep.

A glowing ovular border of old mine-cut diamonds, cumulatively weighing 0.48cts, graded H color and SI1 clarity surrounds the attention-seeking corundum, enhanced by immaculately mille grained perimeter. This color-contrasted ovular plaque surmounts a meticulously pierced gallery incorporating marquise shape open profiles. Gracefully arched shoulders are embellished with diamond-studded marquis silhouettes, cumulatively bead-set with 0.04cts of old mine-cut diamonds graded H color and SI1 clarity. This Deco style ruby engagement ring features an artfully ridged platinum band and an easily sizable shank.

For thousands of years, ruby has been considered one of the most valuable gemstones, deriving originally from India, the classical country of rubies. In Sanskrit, this gemstone of overwhelming brilliance is named 'ratnaraj' translated as 'King of Gemstones'. Whenever a spectacular ruby crystal was discovered and reported to the Emperor, he would send notables to receive and welcome the precious new gemstone in appropriate style. Ruby is the red variety of the corundum family, one of the hardest minerals which include sapphires in a multitude of colors. This magnificent red variety of corundum consists primarily of aluminum oxide and chrome, the latter being the element awarding ruby its wonderful color which originates from deep inside the earth's core. Rubies may show very different shades of red depending on their origin, the most notable being Burmese rubies, indicating the luxurious blood red color. Ruby occurrences exist in Vietnam, Ceylon, Northern Pakistan, Cashmere, Nepal and Afghanistan. Ruby is the perfect symbol of powerful feelings and a ring set with a precious ruby symbolizes the passionate and enduring love between two people.
