This late Victorian five-stone ring originates from around 1900. It is composed of an 18ct yellow gold band supporting a platinum-set face containing three oval deep red rubies interspersed with pairs of small round old-cut diamonds. The piece displays a carved gallery and faint internal gold markings. The entire ring measures 0.4 cm high, 1.7 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. Intended for personal wear, the ring serves as an item of jewellery suited for formal or daily use. It fits comfortably on the hand and coordinates easily with other traditional gold and gemstone accessories. The construction combines durable precious metals with securely mounted stones, creating a compact profile that sits close to the finger.

FAQs

Late Victorian rings from around 1900 frequently combined rich coloured gemstones, such as Burmese rubies, with old-cut diamonds in carved or boat-shaped settings. This period saw an increased use of platinum facing on gold shanks to enhance the brilliance of diamonds.

Victorian rings typically utilised 18ct yellow gold shanks paired with platinum or silver settings to hold diamonds and coloured gemstones. Rubies, sapphires, and emeralds were widely used as central features within multi-stone settings.

Authentic pieces from this period often feature historical hallmarks indicating gold purity, old-cut diamonds with hand-faceted proportions, and hand-carved detailing along the setting gallery.

An antique ruby ring can be paired alongside plain modern gold bands or worn individually as a focal piece. Combining metal tones, such as pairing gold with platinum, reflects traditional late Victorian dual-metal construction.

Clean the piece using lukewarm water, mild detergent, and a soft-bristled brush around the gemstone mounts. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, chemical solvents, or extreme temperature shifts to protect antique gem settings.
