Provenance
An original Asprey piece dating to the 1970s, this ruby and diamond cocktail ring is nothing short of spectacular. Set to centre with a natural ruby, cabochon-cut and boasting the richest shade of pomegranite red. Rub-over set in an open-back setting with ridge detail.
Immediately surrounded by an inner cluster of tapered step-cut diamonds, each precisely cut to form a seamless halo around the centre stone. The tapered diamonds are channel-set in perfect tension with one another. Further encircled by a polished edge. To a bombe design, broad tapering shoulders pave-set with round brilliant-cut diamonds, meticulously matched in colour and clarity.
An 18ct yellow gold shank bearing French hallmarks on the exterior of the band and maker's mark for Asprey under the collet of the ring.
