In the late 1960s and 70s, the aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelites and the "Aesthetic Movement" of the 19th century became relevant once again in musician and artist circles. George Harrison of the Beatles, for example, wore a blazer in 1968 with a fabric design by the famous designer of the Arts & Crafts movement, William Morris. David Bowie was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti for the cover of his 1970 album The Man Who Sold the World. And Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin still collects works by this circle of artists to this day. The Pre-Raphaelites, who were active under that name from 1848 onwards, collected antiques, antique clothing and jewellery themselves: everything that was beautiful and appealing. The painter John Everett Millais, for example, dressed his muse Lizzie Siddal as Ophelia in a gown that he had bought from an antique dealer. To this day, we imagine the Pre-Raphaelite muses in flowing gowns, with long hair and adorned with exotic jewellery - not unlike the style that was still worn around 1970. This ring, which is both anachronistic and yet reflects the period in which it was created, is also reminiscent of this style. Presumably created as a cast of a Victorian ring, it follows the type of "five-stone ring" that was extremely popular in Great Britain in the last years of the 19th century. 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. Our example has five rubies in yellow gold. According to the hallmark, the ring was made in London in 1971. It is in excellent condition and makes a wonderful piece of jewellery for the hand.
