About the Item

This mid-eighteenth century ring is set with flat cut rubies. The ring head in the shape of a rosette is set with eight small and one large ruby. The larger center stone in a dome shaped closed mount is riveted to the ring head. each ring shoulder is decorated with three rubies and a Bourbon lily. On the outside of the original ring shank on can see an unidentified mark. The ring shank has never been sized. As a collectors piece it would be nice to keep it in it's original state. In the eighteenth century and earlier, rings were often worn on the first two fingers of both hands. The ring has been acid tested and stays at 18 karat gold.
