This Belle Époque ring owes its amazing lightness of construction to platinum, which started to be widely used by jewellers at the beginning of the 20th century. Resembling a flower or the spokes of a wheel, the fine construction in platinum wirework is set with a beautiful pink, cushion-shaped ruby, and a ring of sparkling antique circular and rose-cut diamonds, to a simple gold band. With its strong yet refined design, this ring is a rare and beautiful survival from an age of unparalleled elegance. It is one of our most unique ring.
