Vibrant Ruby and Diamond Boat Ring 1902

A sweetly styled ruby and diamond version of a late Victorian favourite - the "boat" ring is traditionally crafted as a tapered row of five stones across the finger, often with a subtle boat-shaped frame edging them. We love this style for its finger coverage, low rise, and easy to wear style - not to mention the seemingly endless variations in stone combinations.

Crisp, sparkling diamonds pop between each juicy and vibrant candy-coloured ruby, all set low and comfortably into rich, high karat gold with a subtle knife-edge band. While five stone rings are often chosen for anniversaries, this ring would make a fantastic alternative engagement ring, colourful wedding band, or every day staple alone or in a stack.

Excellent antique condition with very moderate wear to the gold and stones. Band is sturdy and settings are secure; subtle evidence of past resizing.
