ABOUT THIS RING

Madagascar--home to colorful chameleons, stunning orchids, towering baobab trees--and ravishing rubies! This elegant Edwardian-era jewel glistens with one such ruby (likely a later replacement). Oval in shape and presenting a rich deep rose-red hue, the vibrant 1.00 carat gem is enhanced by crisply sparkling old mine-cut diamonds that create a pleasingly curved navette shape, all supported by knife-edge shoulders, each set with a single stone. A classic beauty, circa 1910. Hand-fabricated in platinum over 14K gold, the rosy-yellow gold shank creates a striking contrast with the bright white platinum that surrounds the gemstones. Total diamond weight - 2.00 carats. Accompanied by a gemological report from Stone Group Laboratories stating: Natural. No indications of thermal enhancements. Madagascar - origin. Currently rize size 7 1/2.

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.
