Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum. Corundum can be found in almost all colors of the rainbow, even completely colorless stones are among them. But while all these stones can also be addressed as sapphires, only the magnificently red stones of this mineral genus are rubies. Rubies have extraordinary significance in the world of jewellery. In the 19th century, its bright color was often associated with love and passion: "Rubies are especially suitable for young lovers [...] In general, it is considered the symbol of the most passionate and ardent love," already knew the Illustrirte Damen-Zeitung Bazar in November 1886. The present vintage ring presents in its center a particularly beautiful ruby of intense red color. The ring is designed as a classic entourage ring, with ten diamonds surrounding the ruby like the leaves of a precious flower. The ruby is a natural gemstone from Thailand weighing 1.90 ct. The ten brilliant cut diamonds in a modern full cut weigh a combined 0.80 ct. The gemstone settings and the rest of the ring are forged from high karat white gold. The ring was made in the 1980s and is in very good condition. A certificate from the German Society for Gemstone Valuation Idar-Oberstein is enclosed with the ring.

Classic designs like this have long been known in jewelry history and are called entourage rings, from French "entourage" for escort, entourage. Rings in which a larger center stone is surrounded by diamonds all around were first big in fashion in the years around 1600 - and since then it has been impossible to imagine the world of jewellery without them. In the second half of the 20th century, they once again became particularly popular. Princess Kate, for example, also wears a ring of a very similar design with a sapphire in the center, which Princess Diana chose as her engagement ring from the then court jeweler Garrard in 1981.
