Description from the seller
Capture the essence of classic romance with this dazzling rosette-style ring, a timeless jewel crafted in 18-karat yellow gold. Designed to inspire love and turn heads, this piece combines the warmth of gold, the fire of a central ruby, and the hypnotic sparkle of a diamond halo.
The Legacy of the Rosette Design
The “rosette” (or cluster) style has its roots in the European courts of the Georgian and Victorian eras, and became established in the 20th century as the preferred design for engagement rings worn by royalty and the high aristocracy. Its architectural brilliance lies in its frame of light: the border of colorless diamonds acts as a natural reflector, creating an optical illusion that visually enlarges the jewel and enhances the color of the central gemstone.
This particular piece features a spectacular openwork, raised basket gallery (wire basket), a goldsmithing technique designed to let light pass through the ruby’s pavilion from every angle, igniting its intense raspberry-red hue.
Main Gemstone: A vibrant natural oval-cut ruby in a deep, rich dark red color, measuring 7 mm x 6 mm
Accent Gemstones: A perimeter border comprising 12 brilliant-cut diamonds, individually set in sturdy gold prongs to maximize their exposure to light, measuring 2 mm x 2 mm
Total Weight: 4.24 grams, demonstrating a solid, high-quality setting.
JPEG
Ring Size: European size 14 (size 54), corresponding to an approximate inner diameter of 17 mm to 17.2 mm.
JPEG
Condition: The structural prongs protecting the gemstones are intact and secure.
The polished gold band shows some signs of wear consistent with its history.
The lot will be prepared with the utmost care at the premises of Tesoros y Subastas in Toledo and sent in an elegant jewelry case by express courier, with a tracking number and comprehensive insurance to ensure flawless delivery.
Important notice regarding measurements and returns:
We kindly ask bidders to carefully review the exact dimensions indicated in the description and pay particular attention to the photographs showing the piece next to a millimeter scale.
