14K Gold, Georgian Inspired Ring with Ruby and Rose-Cut Diamonds, Vintage

This is a ring that could easily have belonged to a young lady in the time of George III — perhaps one who penned romantic letters by candlelight, gazing past a heavy velvet curtain onto a garden full of roses.

         
Inspired by the aesthetics of the Georgian era, this piece is crafted in 14K gold (0.585). At its center sits a ruby of rich, slightly raspberry hue, cut in a classic oval shape. Flanking it are two rose-cut diamonds — a three-stone composition that, in jewelry symbolism, represents the past, present, and future.

This motif, already popular in the 18th century, was often chosen as a token of enduring affection and an inseparable bond with another’s fate. The ruby, a stone of passion and courage, becomes the heart of this story. The diamond rosettes — sparkling like morning dew — capture time in a delicate gesture of remembrance.

This ring weaves together the craftsmanship of past goldsmiths, the symbolism of bygone centuries, and an intimacy that requires no words.
