Estate Originals 18K Yellow Gold Art Deco Ruby and Trilliant-Cut Diamond Ring

This unique and distinctively striking ring features a central row of five crimson red baguette-cut rubies invisibly and vertically stacked and capped with the pièce de résistance: a trilliant-cut diamond on each end (total diamond weight of 0.57 carats). Shoulders consisting of four tapered rows of channel-set square-cut synthetic rubies flow down the sides in a descending pattern of five, four, three and two. The overall perception of the ring is a diamond shape as it points towards the knuckles and reaches from finger to finger in a geometrically angled presentation. The finishing flourishes to this chic and stunning multi-dimensional late Art Deco/retro treasure is the sculpted form and Euro shank. This wonderful ring is crafted in 18K yellow gold, and the 28 synthetic rubies total 1.62 carats while the five baguette-cut rubies total 1.42 carats, for a combined total of 3.04 carats.

Synthetic gemstones possess the same properties (appearance, chemical composition and physical characteristics) as natural gemstones, but have been created in a laboratory. Early attempts to create gemstones this way started in France around the 1830s, and the first synthetic ruby was produced in 1877, but it was not until 1904 with the publication by Auguste Verneuil of his processes and his patenting of the Verneuil furnace in France that it became possible to produce synthetic rubies in commercial quantities. So synthetic gemstones only began to be used in jewellery after the First World War and can be found in Art-Deco jewellery. Rubies, sapphires and spinels are the main stones used.
