Victorian 14K Yellow Gold 0.27 Carat Ruby Ring

Victorian 14K yellow gold and ruby ring. A richly colored ruby sits at the center of this Victorian yellow gold ring, held within a scalloped, flower-like setting that gives the stone a wonderfully distinctive presence. The broad shoulders are finely engraved with foliate details and delicate patterned borders, their crisp texture gradually giving way to a smooth gold band at the back. Substantial yet beautifully proportioned on the hand, it is a particularly charming example of Victorian goldwork, with the vivid ruby providing a striking point of color.
