About the Item

This elegant antique ring, crafted in 1911, is a fine example of Edwardian jewelry design, featuring a classic three-stone arrangement set in rich 18-karat yellow gold. The ring showcases a beautiful combination of vibrant synthetic rubies and sparkling Old European cut diamonds, embodying the delicate craftsmanship and refined aesthetics of the early 20th century. The centerpiece of the ring is adorned with three stunning synthetic rubies, cut in a rectangular cushion shape. The central ruby, measuring 6.20 x 5.43 mm, is carefully faceted to enhance its deep red pinkish color, catching the light beautifully from every angle. Complementing the central ruby are two slightly smaller synthetic rubies, one on each side, creating a balanced and harmonious look. These rubies, also cushion-cut, are meticulously set in the gold band, enhancing the overall symmetry and elegance of the ring. The choice of synthetic rubies was common in the early 1900s, as they offered the desirable rich color making such rings popular. Adding a touch of brilliance to the ring are four Old European cut diamonds. These diamonds, known for their high crown and small table, are expertly set in between the rubies, adding subtle sparkle without overpowering the central stones. The total diamond weight is approximately 0.12 carats, with each diamond graded as SI-I in clarity and I-J in color. These characteristics indicate that while the diamonds may have slight inclusions, they remain beautiful and eye-catching, with a lovely, soft white color that complements the warmth of the gold. On the inner side of the band, several important hallmarks are present, providing a glimpse into the ring's rich history. The British warranty mark 750 confirms the ring's 18k gold purity. The Birmingham hallmark indicates the city where the ring was assayed, a known center of jewelry making during this period. The year letter "M" for 1911 dates the ring precisely, while the maker's mark "L&L" points to the specific jeweler or workshop responsible for its creation. These hallmarks not only authenticate the ring but also add to its collectible value. The ring is a size 17.5 mm, corresponding to a ring size 55 in European measurements. It has a total weight of 3.83 grams, giving it a delicate yet noticeable presence on the finger. The balanced proportions and carefully chosen gemstones make this ring a timeless piece, suitable for both daily wear and special occasions. Due to sizing differences between Europe and other countries, if necessary we recommend having your ring resized at your local jeweler - this will ensure the ring is the correct size for you and fits perfectly.
