"Rubies are particularly suitable for young lovers [...] It is generally regarded as the symbol of the most passionate and ardent love," wrote the illustrated ladies' newspaper Bazar in November 1886. Especially in the 19th century, with its culture of remembrance and sentimentality, gemstones were often associated with meanings, and the one attributed to the ruby resulted not least from its red, slightly pinkish color. At the center of a number of beautiful white diamonds in this ring is an untreated ruby with a completely natural color. It comes from Burma, now Myanmar, which has been the best source of high-quality rubies since time immemorial. Unlike the vast majority of gemstones available on the market today, this ruby has not been heated to intensify its color. With its design, the 1970s ring reinterprets the classic shape of the entourage ring. A total of 28 brilliant-cut diamonds are staggered at different heights around the fine ruby, expanding the ring face into a sparkling square. This delight in geometry is typical of diamond jewellery from the 1970s. The elegant staggered heights are reminiscent of the so-called "ballerina rings" of the same era. We were able to purchase the ring here in Berlin. An independent expert opinion on the quality of the materials is enclosed with the ring.
