Description

Many of the materials used in jewellery have a symbolic meaning that generations before us took for granted. The ruby, for example, stands for the fire of love. The pearl, on the other hand, has always been the symbol of Venus, the goddess of love, who, according to legend, was born from a shell. This cute ring from Victorian England combines this duo to create a beautiful composition. Five natural pearls are combined with four sparkling rubies. It almost seems as if the power of love emanates from the warmly glowing symbol of Venus, the pearl in the center, to spread out in all directions of the globe. These are genuine oriental pearls, as the cultivation of pearls was still a thing of the future when the ring was created. A setting of high-carat yellow gold and a simple shank make the delicate blossom wearable as a ring. Based on the workmanship and design language, we date the ring to around 1890.
