AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A refined and luxurious ring in 925 silver, finely plated in 18-karat yellow gold, characterized by rich tones and an extremely meticulous craftsmanship.
At the center of the composition, a magnificent cluster of ruby gemstones with an intense red color stands out.
The main aesthetic focal point of the jewelry. Seven main rubies, each cut in an oval shape measuring 7x5 millimeters.
They dominate the scene with their luminous facets that capture and reflect light in every direction.
To frame these imposing gems, small 2-millimeter round rubies alternate, adding further brilliance and creating a sparkling, harmonious effect. The golden prong settings that hold each stone enhance their color and confer a classic elegance to a decidedly opulent charm.
The band of the ring, also gold-plated, is embellished with a delicate textured finish that enhances the sense of luxury and adds visual depth to the entire design. The craftsmanship is undoubtedly vintage in origin, evoking the excellence of antique jewelry, with an attention to detail that demonstrates great artisanal skill.
Overall, it is a ring with a striking presence, sumptuous and extremely elegant, made unique by the bold color combination and the scenographic presence of its numerous rubies.
The total weight of the stones is approximately 7.80 carats. The inner diameter of the ring is 17.3 millimeters, which corresponds to the international sizes listed below. Inside the shank, the hallmark with the sterling silver 925 purity mark is stamped.

My Judgment on the Jewelry
Looking at this very refined ring, I noticed several details and features that might escape an untrained eye, but which reveal a lot about the quality of craftsmanship and the stylistic intent of the jewelry.
Design clearly inspired by vintage statement rings. The combination of rich yellow gold, multiple intense red rubies, and an elaborate, almost sculptural setting recalls jewelry from the 1960s and 1970s, when organic shapes and chromatic opulence were distinctive stylistic features. It's a style hint that an inexperienced eye might not notice, but enthusiasts like me recognize immediately.
2. Complex and irregular 'group' setting. Although at first glance it appears to be a simple collection of rubies, the setting is designed to create an organic and three-dimensional effect. The stones are not arranged symmetrically but follow a deliberately irregular pattern that imparts movement and visual richness, typical of high-end vintage rings.
3. Use of more measures and cuts of rubies. The smaller surrounding rubies, in addition to the larger stones, fill the gaps and add brilliance. This requires: careful selection of the stones, precision in calibrating the settings, and the ability to integrate various cuts into a single harmonious composition. A detail that only an experienced artisan can make so coherent.
4. Silver worked with a rich and irregular texture. The upper part, which acts as the 'fabric' between one stone and another, is not smooth. It is shaped with a relief texture reminiscent of the lost wax craftsmanship, a technique typical of vintage jewelry and contemporary artistic creations. This detail enhances visual depth, light play, and the perceived value of the piece.
5. Open structure. The empty spaces between the stones are not accidental: they serve to make the design lighter and more airy, preventing the ring from appearing as a heavy block. They also create a very sophisticated architectural effect, increased light refraction through the rubies, and the golden setting.
Elaborate and non-standard gold claws. The claws are not just simple supports but true decorative elements: they are elongated, raised, and finely textured. This choice serves a dual purpose: to enhance the brightness of the rubies and to create a baroque and opulent effect. Their irregular shape also contributes to the overall texture of the jewelry.
7. Sinuous and refined side profile. When viewing the ring from the side, it is noticeable that the band is not a simple circle. It is shaped to support the upper part without compromising wearability. Curvature, thickness, and finish are features of a craftsmanship attentive to both comfort and aesthetics.
The ring is shipped immediately after purchase worldwide, with a fast and insured express courier. A tracking code is provided after the sale. The item is carefully and professionally packaged. When purchasing multiple items from the collection, the buyer pays the cost of only one shipment.
Seller's Story
For about 30 years I have been collecting antique jewels from every corner of the world. These small objects live, breathe, pass down their origins, describe the places they have seen, the historical periods they have lived through. Each has its own life, its own history, but they all have one thing in common: they reflect the soul of those who own them. I can effectively state that a jewel is matter that becomes emotion.
