English jewellery from the Victorian era is often characterized by exceptionally high-quality gemstones. After Queen Victoria was crowned Empress of India in 1877, the British Empire's trade routes were wide open to the precious gems of the Indian subcontinent. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds and large diamonds arrived in England by sea and were enthusiastically crafted by goldsmiths in London and other major centers of the country - into exquisite jewellery for the ladies of the middle classes. The gemstones in this ring date from this period, while the ring itself appears to have been recast at a later date - it is made of high-carat yellow gold. The resulting ring impresses with an exquisite combination of fine rubies and high-quality diamonds. Two bright red rubies alternate with three old-cut diamonds - a true feast for the senses. A diamond of around half a carat shines in the center, flanked by the two rubies. The small rose-cut diamonds, which sit on the prongs of the settings and further emphasize the sparkle of the gemstones, are particularly effective. The ring found its way to us from Hamburg, but its origin can almost certainly be traced back to the United Kingdom.
