Edwardian 0.50 Carat Old Cut Diamond & 0.55 Carat Sythentic Ruby Ring, Dated 1908

1900 - 1920
Description

A special, unique antique ruby and diamond ring. The old European cut diamond displays a clear and distinct champagne hue, beautifully off-set by the bright pinkish red of the synthetic ruby opposite.

Both the gems are rubover set in 18k white gold and are set either side of a gently curving D-shaped shank with decorative trefoil flourishes at the shoulders.

Hallmarks from the Birmingham assay office, 1908.

Accompanied by an independent jewellery report by IGR (#30310231).

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Edwardian jewellery, produced between 1901 and 1915, is known for light, delicate metalwork, fluid lines, and decorative settings. Platinum became widely used during this period, often combined with yellow gold to secure diamonds and coloured gemstones.

Verneuil flame-fusion synthetic rubies were commercialised in the early 1900s and were celebrated for their colour, purity, and technical innovation. They were frequently set alongside natural diamonds in fine gold and platinum mountings of the era.

Authentic pieces feature period hallmarks detailing the year, maker, and gold purity, along with hand-cut stones such as old European or mine cut diamonds. Scroll shoulders, crossover bands, and platinum-topped collet settings are key construction indicators.

A two-stone crossover ring can be worn as a standalone statement dress ring or stacked alongside plain gold bands to highlight the contrast between yellow gold and platinum settings.

Clean gently using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dust around the bezel settings. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and store separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches.
