Hardly any other type of ring is as characteristic of jewellery from Great Britain at the beginning of the 20th century as the "five-stone ring". As its name suggests, such a ring presents five identical or alternating gemstones in a row. The stones are set close together on the narrow band and have restrained settings so that they appear to float on the finger. However, the choice of gemstone was not just aesthetic, as it also conveyed certain messages in Gemlore, the "language of jewels". Two rubies and three oval old European cut diamonds are set in this ring. Due to its colour, the ruby is traditionally associated with passion: "Ruby is passion", as the famous British painter Sir Edward Burne-Jones knew. Combined with diamonds, which have been associated with eternity for centuries due to their hardness, this creates a romantic message. All of the stones in the ring are cut by hand and set in high-carat gold. The ring was created in the c. 1900s and is in very good condition. We discovered it in London.
