A French Ruby and Diamond Ring

$6,500
This French ruby and diamond ring in platinum-topped 18K gold dates from circa 1910. The slender form centers a ruby surrounded by swirling gold vines and a pair of stylized old European and rose-cut diamond blossoms. The graceful form, imbued with the spirit of the Art Nouveau, sits lightly on the finger for a sparkling, elongating look highlighted by a touch of vivid red.
