Description

A radiant ruby in vibrant Bordeaux red and sparkling, fine white diamonds are the setting of this wonderful ring. The first-class diamonds are shaped in marquise and brilliant cuts. They surround the precious ruby and make it look like a sparkling flower or a seductive sweet. The ruby is very clear and pure and almost glows in the light. The gemstones in the ring are set in high-carat white gold and mounted high above the finger. Despite its size, this makes the ring comfortable to wear as the fingers can move freely. When viewed from the side, the gemstones appear to float above the finger. Viewed from the front, the fine goldsmith's work cannot be seen at all; the white gold disappears completely in the shine of the precious stones. This very graphic design of the ring is typical of jewellery from the 1960s and 1970s. Cool colors, white metal and almost architecturally conceived designs are typical of this period of optimism. But where was the ring made? A certificate for the ruby in the ring has survived, issued in August 1976 in Milan. It is very likely that the ring was created immediately afterwards. We discovered the ring in Nuremberg. A new expert opinion on the quality of the materials is enclosed with the ring.

Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum. Corundum is found in almost all colors of the rainbow, including completely colorless stones. However, while all these stones can also be referred to as sapphires, only the magnificent red stones of this mineral genus are rubies. Among the colored stones, the ruby is by far the most valuable stone; only particularly high-quality pink, blue or green diamonds achieve higher prices today. Historically, the best rubies have always been mined in Burma, around the city of Mogok. They are characterized by an intense, pink-red color, which is also known as "pigeon's blood". The best stones seem to glow from an inner fire, which is best seen in daylight: stones that glow a gorgeous red in artificial light can appear washed out under the sun. According to tradition, rubies are divine, princely stones. As their color is reminiscent of blood and blazing fire, their connection to burning love was quite natural. They are even said to prevent illness and give proud, fresh courage. Indian princes even had themselves addressed as "King of Rubies".
