Circa 1920 Diamond and Synthetic Ruby Floral Openwork Ring

A quiet dialogue of light and colour: two old mine cut diamonds rest at the ends of an openwork plaque, while smaller rose-cut and senaille-cut diamonds trace its scrolling flowers. A curved ribbon of synthetic rubies lends the design a graceful line of colour. Made around 1920, it retains the airy elegance of a jewel conceived to be admired close at hand.
