Overview:
Elegant antique Edwardian era gypsy band (circa 1909) crafted in 18 karat yellow gold.
Centrally mounted estimated 0.01 carat rose cut diamond is accented with two estimated 0.02 carat rubies. The diamond is estimated at L-M color and I3 clarity.
The charming gypsy setting allows the rubies and diamond to sit flush into the band. The diamond is set into a starburst design with the side shoulders hand engraved in a scrolled design. The ring has a low profile and sits flat on the finger (3mm - 0.11 inches). Ideal worn as an alternative wedding ring or a right hand ring for everyday wear. See below for information about the hallmarks.
The ring is in good condition. We have not cleaned it in order to preserve the patina and collector value.
