Ask a question

An unheated ruby of about one and a half carats is the star of this appealing ring from about 1940.

The surround features round and baguette diamonds in a stepped-down design typical of the Art Deco period.

It is robust enough for an engagement ring.

White gold was back in fashion, and these later Art Deco rings are a little more solid in construction than some of the earlier fine platinum ones.

Rubies and sapphires are both corundum, and the hardest gemstones after diamonds. Their durability makes them a popular choice for a ring to wear every day.
