Description
This ring is sold, sorry. See similar rings:
"Thailand, much like its neighbour Myanmar (Burma), has a long history of producing excellent rubies. Thai rubies have a slightly different character to Burmese specimens - they tend to lack the pink overtones characteristic of Burmese rubies, and instead lean closer to purple and sometimes slightly brownish secondary tones, which gives their reds a rich, sophisticated depth. This special ring is set with a sequence of five graduated Thai rubies, of a beautiful, almost wine red, accented at each corner with glittering rose-cut diamonds. (The images present some inclusions which cannot be seen very easily by the naked eye). In classic fashion for five stone rings of this era, it’s mounted in warm yellow gold to complement the red, with sinuous hand-carved scrolled gallery and shoulders giving it a luxurious Baroque touch.

What does my gemstone mean?
Ruby
The rich scarlet colour of a blood is thought to represent the power of life itself. They are also known to be symbolic of good health, wealth, wisdom, and success in love. They were very popular during the 15th and 16th centuries and are particularly prized in Asian countries, seeing as they were commonly traded along China's North Silk Road.
