Antique French Belle Époque Ruby & Diamond Quatrefoil Ring | Circa 1890-1900 | 18K Gold & Silver

Antique French Belle Époque Ruby & Diamond Quatrefoil Ring | Circa 1890-1900 | 18K Gold & Silver

ABOUT: 

A beautiful combination of rich red rubies, an old mine cut diamond, and the soft sparkle of rose-cut diamonds makes this antique French ring such a lovely little treasure.

Dating to circa 1890–1900, the ring features a central old mine cut diamond surrounded by vivid natural rubies, all set within an unusual quatrefoil design. Crafted in 18 karat gold and silver, the delicate openwork setting is adorned with rose-cut diamonds that catch the light beautifully.

I especially love the shape of this ring. The softly rounded quatrefoil, the contrast of the rich red rubies against the diamonds, and the intricate gold and silver work give it such wonderful character. French hallmarks offer another lovely connection to its history.

I can easily imagine this ring being worn throughout the holiday season, catching the light at a candlelit dinner, or simply adding a little old-world charm to an ordinary day. And while its rich color makes it especially lovely for the holidays, it's certainly a ring to enjoy all year long.

A beautiful little piece of 19th-century France, ready to be worn, loved, and treasured for generations to come.

I believe that these imperfections only add to their character and charm, and they’re ready for their next chapter with you.

As with all antique jewelry, the stones may show subtle signs of wear, like surface abrasions or a natural patina, which only add to their unique character.
