Description
A rare and museum-quality Victorian navette ring, hallmarked Birmingham, 1889. This 18ct yellow gold masterpiece centers a 0.18ct natural Burma ruby, prized for its vivid saturated hue. The central ruby is framed by a shimmering marquise-shaped halo of twelve old-cut diamonds, totaling 0.45ct (SI-I clarity, K-M colour).
Burmese rubies are the gold standard for collectors, and finding a verified natural stone in a dated 19th-century setting is exceptional. The ring features ornate ridged shoulders and a full set of crisp hallmarks, including the date letter 'p' for 1889. A quintessential piece of British history, this ring combines rare gemstone origin with the romantic elegance of the late Victorian era.
