Edwardian Platinum, Diamond and Synthetic Ruby Ring
The top of the custom synthetic ruby is cut in three concentric graduated steps; the underside of the stone has 16 facets which taper to a point at the center thus allowing the light to flicker in and out of the pierced work on all sides of the diamond-studded platinum setting. This is a truly spectacular ring.
The eighty-four (84) diamonds measure from 1.0mm to 1.75 mm. There are two (2) diamonds that measure approximately 2.75mm each. Approximate total diamond weight is 1.26 carats. Diamond color ranges form G-H and clarity ranges from SI1 to SI2. The shank is hand engraved and pierced with a scrolled wire under gallery.
The stone pictured is not original to the piece. There was a half cabochon Lindy star sapphire stone (appraised at $200.00) which I will gladly give to the buyer of the piece. It was drab and unattractive to the setting so I had it replaced in 2000 to the current stone which was cut from a 26 gram synthetic ruby. The cost of the raw material and intricate cutting was $720.00. Receipts are available and copies will be provided if requested. The color of this magnificent simulated ruby is a deep red when no light enters the stone.
The ring comes with a GIA Certified Appraisal. size: 7-1/2 to 8; top of ring: length: 14.5mm, width: 14.5mm, depth: 6.7mm
