Antique 1.00ct Oval Cut Burmese Ruby Cocktail Ring, Diamond Halo, 18k Yellow Gold

This exquisite Victorian-era navette ring, handcrafted circa 1890, showcases a stunning vertical row of seven natural oval-cut Burmese rubies. These rich, red gemstones are set in an east-west orientation, totaling approximately 1.00 carat. Their deep hue is beautifully complemented by a delicate silver setting over an 18k yellow gold base, a signature technique of the period that enhances both contrast and brilliance.

Encircling the rubies is an elongated halo of old European-cut diamonds, meticulously set in prongs to maximize their sparkle. The diamonds, with a total approximate weight of 1.42 carats, provide a dazzling frame that enhances the ring’s striking silhouette. The navette shape, with its elongated design, creates an elegant and graceful presence on the finger, embodying the refined aesthetics of the Victorian era.

The craftsmanship of this piece exemplifies the artistry of antique jewelry, where intricate metalwork and carefully chosen gemstones come together in perfect harmony. The silver-on-gold construction, a hallmark of 19th-century design, not only adds depth to the setting but also preserves the integrity of the diamonds’ brilliance, making this ring a timeless treasure.

This ring is currently a size 7 but can be resized to fit any finger at no additional cost. If you have any questions or would like further details, please feel free to contact us.
