ABOUT THIS RING

Like marvelous works of art in a museum, the lively trio of stones in this Victorian jewel--two bright raspberry-red rubies and a single sparkling old mine-cut diamond--is set in a beautiful 'carved' dimensional frame, masterfully hand fabricated in rich 18K yellow gold. Shining within a fancy rectangle, the stones are accented east and west by deep hand-engraved scrolls that lead to a brightly burnished ring shank. The perfect viewing position? On your finger--at eye level. From England, 1895. Currently ring size 8.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

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.
