Red and white flames, caged in gold. The Victorians loved the symbolism, ruby for passion, diamond for constancy. The pairing still feels timeless today. This ring, with its alternating brilliance of fire and ice, would have marked love both tender and unshakable. One can imagine it given at the turn of the last century, a jewel chosen not only for its beauty but for what it promised.
Crafted in London in 1901, this five-stone ring is set in 18k gold and hallmarked with the crown, “18,” the leopard head for London, and the date letter “f.” The three diamonds weigh a combined .28 carats: one at 3.5 x 3.5 x 1.8 mm, one at 3 x 3 x 1.8 mm, and one at 2.3 x 2.3 x 1.3 mm. Two lively rubies, together .12 carats, each measure 2.5 x 2.5 x 1.3 mm. The face of the ring measures 5.6 mm north to south, 17 mm across, and rises 3.7 mm off the finger; and the band width tapers to 2 mm in the back. It weighs 3.32 grams and is currently a US size 7.5.
A piece meant to be worn and admired daily, it carries with it the romantic ideals of the Edwardian era, still shining more than a century later.
