In the early 20th century, rings were an indispensable part of the wardrobe and no lady would have left the house without a ring or, ideally, several pieces of jewellery. Depending on the wearer's purse, they varied in opulence, but the pieces always had a symbolic meaning that was understood by the public. This British example belongs to this period of Edward VII's reign (1901 to 1910). Edward was in almost every respect the opposite of his morally strict mother Victoria. A bon vivant, fond of luxury and women, he was already a notorious gambler and Casanova as Prince of Wales. Edward preferred to surround himself with representatives of high society and spent his time at countless social events. The ring, which can be dated to 1904 thanks to the sequence of hallmarks on the inside, features a decorative arrangement of a red ruby and eight peruzzi and rose cut diamonds. Set in high-carat yellow gold, the combination of gemstones also has a romantic meaning: in the language of gemstones, the red ruby stands for love, while the diamond stands for endurance and permanence. The ring is a beautiful piece of jewellery made from high-quality materials with tradition and history; it came to us from the southwest of England.
