A radiant gemstone forms the centerpiece of this ring. It is an exquisite pink-red ruby from the legendary site of Burma - the most famous region of origin for rubies. Weighing around 0.40 ct, the stone owes its intense color exclusively to nature. No treatment was detected during the gemmological examination. Only the artful cutting of the gemstone enhances its radiant color through masterful light reflections. Under a magnifying glass, the ruby reveals a fine network of inclusions, known as "silk". This characteristic feature, caused by the mineral rutile, gives Burma rubies a silky sheen that delights connoisseurs, depending on the incidence of light. The precious ruby appears to float between two arms of diamonds, held by delicate and barely visible bars. A sparkling old-cut diamond frames the ruby above and below, while the curved ends of the ring band enclose it dynamically. This elegant design is a typical feature of Art Nouveau, which experienced its heyday at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Silver overlays on the gold ring band allow the diamonds to shine with particular brilliance. The ring was made in Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century, as the hallmarks clearly show. It is in excellent condition and comes with two certificates confirming the exceptional quality of the ruby.
