Victorian 3.10 Carat Natural Burmese Ruby & Rose Cut Diamond Ring, circa 1870

This sublime Victorian ruby ring features a glowing and lively deep, pinkish red ruby – certified as natural, unheated and of Burmese origin. The centre stone is claw set within a surround of twelve rose cut diamonds, each set in closed-backed settings.
