ABOUT THIS RING

Hand crafted - circa 1900 - in platinum over 18 karat yellow gold, here is an exquisite candy cane (or barber pole) striped dinner ring set with slender lines of radiant red calibre-cut rubies alternating with twinkling antique round-cut diamonds diagonally arrayed over an elongated oval top. The ring shank is dotted with tiny rose-cut diamonds on the shoulders. A superb and striking original Edwardian jewel. This ring measures 7/8 inch by 3/8 inch. Ring size 5 3/4.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
