Dating from around 1890, this exquisite Victorian ring is a symphony of romance and refinement. Carefully crafted in 18-carat red gold, it is adorned with 28 old brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of approximately 1.50 carats. But the true star remains the central ruby, about 0.50 carats, which captivates with its vibrant and radiant pinkish-red hue. This natural, untreated stone embodies the very soul of the piece, bringing it warmth and passion. A symbol of love and desire, the natural beauty of the ruby enhances the ring's intricate design, a timeless testament to the artistic craftsmanship of the Victorian era.

Style
Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refer to the style of decorative arts from the Victorian era. This era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historical styles, as well as the introduction of intercultural influences from the Middle East and Asia into furniture, accessories, and interior decoration. Victorian design is widely regarded as having shown a regrettable excess of ornamentation. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, the Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau all have their origins at the end of the Victorian era.

Style specifics
The late Victorian or Aesthetic period – Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also known as the Victorian era (1837–1901), into three periods of about twenty years each: the Romantic Victorian period (1837–1860), the Grand Victorian period (1860–1880), and the late Victorian or Aesthetic period (1880–1901).
We consider this to be from the late Victorian or Aesthetic period.
The jewelry of this era evolved, moving from heavy pieces to smaller and more romantic ones, often with whimsical motifs. Jewelers used diamonds and bright gemstones to create refined and elaborate feminine pieces.
