English pieces of jewellery from the Victorian era often feature high-quality gemstones. After Queen Victoria was crowned Empress of India in 1877, the British Empire's trade routes to the precious gems of the Indian subcontinent were wide open. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds and large diamonds arrived on the island by sea. They were eagerly received by the goldsmiths in London and the other major centers of England, who used them to make magnificent pieces of jewellery for the ladies of the bourgeoisie. This ring dates from this period and is immediately captivating with its combination of fine rubies and high-quality diamonds. Two particularly beautiful rubies are alternately accompanied by three historic old-cut diamonds, while small rose cut diamonds occupy the spaces between the ring face. Their colors and light are a true celebration. Rings of this type, with three or five larger stones in a row across the finger, were created in the late 19th century in a wide variety of material combinations, with colored stones or diamonds, in yellow gold and with gemstone settings in platinum. The fashion-conscious lady often wore several rings of this type side by side on one finger, put together in new combinations depending on the occasion and mood. All of the stones in the very carefully crafted ring are set in delicate prongs, making the ring easy to wear and accentuating its radiance. The entire ring face is pleasantly flat so that the ring can be worn every day without any problems. The ring, finely engraved on the sides, came to us from London, where it was probably created.
