An Edwardian Burmese ruby and diamond ring

We find this charming ruby and diamond ring from the early years of the 20th century particularly appealing.

The ruby weighing 2.73 carats is of Burmese origin, of good colour and excellent purity.

The delicate mount with its scrolled ribbon decoration and millegrain setting is so typical of the period.

Edwardian era fashion was elaborate, ornate and highly feminine

It is fairly rare to find such a fine ruby still in its original Edwardian mount as frequently good stones would have been re-set in more fashionable designs at a later date.
