This exquisite Victorian dress ring marries history, artistry and sentiment in a single, luminous piece. Hand-crafted in rich 18 ct yellow gold, the pierced, marquise-shaped head is alive with colour: a vivid 0.50 ct cushion-cut ruby blazes at the centre, embraced above and below by two 0.40 ct pear-cut rubies. Twenty Old European and eight-cut diamonds—together weighing 1.55 ct—halo the rubies in a glittering scalloped border, their antique facets catching the light with the soft, romantic fire unique to 19th-century stones. Scrolled shoulders flow into a subtly cuffed shank, completing a design that is at once delicate and striking.

Beyond its technical splendour, the ring is steeped in symbolism. Rubies have long stood for passion, vitality and devotion, while diamonds evoke enduring strength and clarity—an eloquent pairing that speaks of lasting love. The warmth of the yellow-gold setting enhances the rubies’ regal scarlet, imbuing the piece with a crown-like elegance. To gift this ring is to offer a tangible fragment of the Victorian era: a story woven in gold and gemstones, alive with the era’s meticulous craftsmanship and romantic ideals. Whether marking a birthday, an anniversary or a personal milestone, it is a timeless, one-of-a-kind treasure—rich in beauty, history and emotional resonance.
