About the Item

This classic ballerina ring -- with baguettes of various sizes forming a "skirt" at different elevations -- was originally set with a diamond, but we decided to set it with something more wearable and contemporary -- a maroon ruby -- nearly opaque and completely saturated with rich color. The 1.78 carat mixed cut ruby, from Mozambique (heat-treated but not filled) has a shallow crown, so that it appears almost flat. The ruby is surrounded by a 1/2 carat of round stones - a diamond halo of 14 round, full-cut stones that we rate at G-H color and VS2-SI1 clarity. The 32 baguettes - we estimate 2 carats worth - are all tapered, ranging from 3mm and 4mm in length. We rate the baguettes at H color and VS1-2 clarity. All stones are securely prong-set. At least two of the baguettes appear to be replacements. The ring, probably made in the 1960s or early 1970s (there are no maker's marks to offer clues) is of sturdy construction in 18 karat white gold with split shoulders and a carinated shank. According to the mandrel, this ring is a size 6.5, but it fits a bit bigger (almost a 7) because there is some wiggle room behind the ring's face. Resizing is complimentary for full-price buyers and negotiable otherwise. Measurements: Face height: 26mm Face width: 18mm Band width: 1.6mm Band thickness: 1.2mm Front elevation: 11.5mm Weights (diamond weights are estimates): Total baguette weight: 2.0 carats Total round diamond weight: 0.5 carats Total diamond weight: 2.5 carats Ruby weight: 1.78 carats Total stone weight: 4.28 carats Ring weight: 6.7 grams

GIA Certified H/VS2 1.03 Carat Diamond in Bombe Edwardian-Style Platinum Ring
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan Brandes designed this ring using various elements he likes from Edwardian engagement rings, such as the carinated shank, the coin-edged pavé setting plates, and the elevated, almost bombé face. This is the second time he has used this mounting, and this is the first time he's set it entirely in diamonds. The center prong-set diamond is a clean and beautiful brilliant cut round stone weighing 1.03 carats. The prongs rise from a band (not actually a bezel) around the stone, minimizing the prongy effect, and keeping the stone's elevation at a graceful minimum. The dramatically curved face of the mounting is made up of little coin-edged plates, joined from below. Each plate hosts between one and five stones meticulously set by our best gem-setter. The little banner-shaped plates around the center stone give it a whimsical eight-pointed star halo, while the long plates...
