There is a fire at the heart of this ring, a glowing ruby framed by diamonds that sparkle like stars against twilight. It’s the kind of ring that might have been chosen with care, slipped into a velvet box, and offered with trembling hands. The shoulders are adorned with foliate scrollwork, so delicately carved they seem almost to breathe, and the entire setting nestles close to the hand with an elegance born of another time.

Handcrafted in 15k gold around 1890, this Victorian ring features a central cushion-cut ruby measuring 6 x 5 x 2 mm (approximately 0.48 carats), flanked by two old European-cut diamonds—one at 4.6 mm (0.39 ct) and the other at 4 mm (0.20 ct). Four tiny rose-cut diamonds are tucked in between, for a total diamond weight of approximately 0.60 carats. The ring measures 6.2 mm north to south and 15 mm across the face, with a depth of 4 mm, a 1.5 mm band width, and a total weight of 2.6 grams. It is a US size 6.75 and has been tested as 15 karat gold.

Romantic, luminous, and steeped in history, this is a ring that feels like a secret kept close to the heart, ready to be passed from one love story to the next.
