Smouldering Oval Ruby in Diamond Halo Ring

This Edwardian ruby and diamond halo ring is a real show-stopper. A .74ct oval ruby smoulders within a generous entourage of eight old European cut diamonds. The gems are prong-set in rich 18k gold; the prongs' tips glitter like a golden constellation, twinkling amidst the stones. A pretty scalloped gallery, curvaceous shoulders, and tapered band give the ring an airy elegance. Such a treasure. Circa 1900.

This ring comes with an insurance replacement cost appraisal. The appraisal is done by an independent gem lab. The appraised value is $6900.
