Provenance
Original to c.1900, this Burmese ruby five-stone carved half-hoop ring is absolutely breathtaking. To have not one but five natural, unheated rubies with such incredible colour and clarity, meticulously matched, is extraordinary. This is an example of a carved half-hoop ring, a style popularised in the late Victorian era that continued to stay in high demand through the early 20th century.
The rubies are cushion-cut and subtly graduated in size to give a flattering spread of stones across the finger. All rubies are claw-set in an open-back settings, above a gallery featuring scalloped and refined ridge detail, leading to shoulders which are further decorated with hand-engraved fluting, flowing through to a solid D-shape yellow gold band.
Original antique five-stone rings of such high quality as this one are hard to come by - most will have been broken up over the following century to be re-set into more contemporary jewels. This jewel is a truly exceptional example of Edwardian craftsmanship and would be an excellent heirloom piece.
