Victorian 18ct Gold Marquise Ruby & Diamond Cluster Ring

A striking Victorian 18ct gold marquise-shaped ruby and diamond cluster ring set with a vibrant natural 1ct ruby framed by old European-cut diamonds. The elongated marquise design is classic late-19th-century styling, giving the ring a bold, elegant silhouette on the finger. The ruby displays strong colour typical of antique stones, likely Thai or Burmese in origin, and is secured in a gold claw setting. Surrounding it are bright, well-matched antique diamonds set in silver over gold, enhancing their sparkle — a hallmark of Victorian craftsmanship. A substantial and beautifully balanced antique ruby ring with strong visual presence.
