Exquisite Victorian Ruby and Diamond Gypsy Ring 1884

We are absolutely wild about this Victorian gypsy ring. It has everything we look for in a perfect ring: rich high karat gold, bright diamonds, a pop of colour, and a low profile. The hardiness of rubies and diamonds, set flush into the band so they don't catch on anything, makes this ring ideal for everyday wear. It is so smooth and comfortable between the fingers that you'd nearly forget you're wearing it, if not for the satisfying weight and delightful sparkle.

This antique ring is in beautiful condition, with crisp and lively diamonds (two beautifully proportioned old mine cuts, though one side stone was replaced with a brilliant cut), and vivid natural rubies that do not appear to have evidence of heat treatment (a true rarity!). There is very minor evidence of resizing, with all hallmarks intact. We love this as an alternative engagement ring, wedding band (or combo single ring!), or an amazing right hand or stacking ring.
