This ring features three bright red unheated rubies surrounded by old cut diamonds in 18-carat gold, and was made in Birmingham in 1894.

It’s a style that enjoyed popularity in England for many years. I have seen similar examples dating up to the start of World War One in 1914.

Some were set with sapphires, or other precious gems. Nine-carat versions were made too – these were more likely to be set with semiprecious stones such as garnets or amethysts.

This would make a lovely dress ring or antique engagement ring.
