Ruby & Diamond Ring # 12-411

 

 

This beautiful 14k yellow gold, diamond and ruby ring is reminiscent of the Art Deco Period (1920-1930’s). During that time popular motifs made use of geometric and abstract designs and a dramatic interplay of shimmering colors.  Rubies and diamonds were widely used as embellishments.

Diamonds have been coveted and used to embellish jewelry and accessories throughout the ages; the Greeks wore them into battle believing them to symbolize “inconquerability”. Diamonds are the birthstone of April and are given to commemorate 60th anniversaries.  They symbolize innocence.

Rubies have a dramatic effect and, to many, are more valued than diamonds.  Ruby is the birthstone of July and symbolizes wisdom, wealth, and health.

There are six round diamonds each set using four 14k white gold prongs and twelve rectangular rubies. The 14k yellow gold band fits naturally between one’s fingers.
