Antique Edwardian Chester 1910c Ruby & Diamond Gypsy Boat Ring Size 8 US Or P UK
Antique Edwardian Chester 1910c Ruby & Diamond Gypsy Boat Ring Size 8 US Or P UK
A perfectly elegant & absolutely gorgeous Antique 9ct old Rosey gold 1910c & Chester assayed Gypsy boat ring!
This super pretty piece flaunts a beautiful combination of Rubies & diamonds that are flush set into a traditional Gypsy boat style setting, well fitting to its Edwardian era!
This piece boasts a relatively low to the finger setting, with all of its pretty stones flush set across its ornate flat boat shaped setting. The stones adorning this piece consist of 2 small natural rubies, 2 small natural diamonds, and a nicely matched created Ruby to the centre of the stones.
The created Ruby suggests that this piece has been well loved, and most probably professionally repaired at some point during her 114 year life time!
A wonderful gift for anyone who admires fine antique jewellery! Ruby is a birthstone for those born in the month of July, also making this a perfect birthday gift idea. Or a simply splendid addition to any collection of fine jewellery.
