Here’s a variation on a type of turn-of-the-20th-century English substantial gold ring set with gemstones in a low gypsy or, as here, a bead setting. I find them so appealing.

Three rich red unheated rubies alternate diagonally with two good old mine cut diamonds, counterbalanced with a deep scroll on the opposing edges, top and bottom.

Rings like this are robust enough to wear every day, look great on their own or stacked, and offer great value compared with their modern handcrafted counterparts.
