Overview:
Stylish vintage ruby & diamond cocktail ring crafted in 19k yellow gold (circa 1980s).
4 oval cut rubies measure 5.5mm x 3.5mm. 28 single cut diamonds total an estimated 0.28 carats (estimated at H-I color and VS2-SI1 clarity).
Crafted in bright buttery Portuguese 19k gold, the ring features a cluster of rich red rubies to the center with accenting diamonds. With a domed curve to the mount the ring is designed to hug the finger for maximum impact. A great statement ring to wear during the day and can easily transition to a glam evening look.
The ring is in very good condition and was recently lightly cleaned and polished.
The piece was acquired on a recent trip to Portugal, one of Europe's most exciting destinations for discovering exceptional antique and vintage jewelry. Portugal's thriving antiques community, historic markets, and renowned art and antiques fairs provided access to remarkable jewelry with provenance, exceptional beauty and character. Each piece was carefully selected for craftsmanship, originality and history. I am delighted to share these newly acquired pieces. Please shop our site to view the entire collection.
