ABOUT THIS RING

Few, if any, rubies come in a red--highlighted with just a hint of fuchsia--as richly saturated as this absolutely gemmy, luscious, crystalline, and radiant beauty. Weighing 3.23 carats, the spectacular gemstone is accompanied by a gemological report from the AGL stating: Low Temperature Heat, Excellent Stability, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) origin. (Although there's no way to prove it, we were told by the previous owner that the stone was originally unheated until it was subjected to a torch by an unsuspecting jeweler. However, one rarely sees 'low temp heat' on AGL certs, so we tend to believe it.) The resplendent ruby is beautifully presented in glorious Art Deco style in a hand fabricated platinum mounting between pairs of sizable icy-white baguette diamonds, further embellished all around by small glittering round diamonds arrayed over elegant neoclassical scroll motifs. A fully hand engraved ring shank adds the finishing touch to this exceptional and exceptionally stunning trophy ring. An extraordinary find--if the stone was unheated, it would easily triple in value! 2.49 carat total diamond weight. Currently ring size 6 1/4.

About Estate Jewelry

Though it calls to mind grand manor houses in the English countryside, “estate” is just a fancy way of describing any piece of jewelry with a previous owner. That’s pretty much everything in our collection. We tend to use “estate” to refer to pieces in our collection with a more modern or contemporary design, or vintage-inspired designs. These perennial gems are selected in harmony with our original antique and vintage pieces…they’re just a little bit younger!

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.
