Pre-loved Antique Edwardian Ruby & Diamond Ring 18ct Gold - Birmingham 1911

There's a particular charm to a ring you can actually date, and this one wears its history openly. A genuine Edwardian five-stone ring, hallmarked in Birmingham in 1911, it alternates rich red rubies with sparkling old cut diamonds across a beautifully carved gallery setting, the kind of intricate scrollwork and openwork detailing that simply isn't replicated in modern manufacturing.

The design is classic Edwardian in every sense, a low-set, comfortable profile, delicate claw settings that let light flood into each stone, and the fine carved shoulders that were the hallmark of quality jewellers working in this period. At size P and a delicate 2.2g, it has the lightness typical of the era, sitting close to the finger rather than standing proud.

This is a genuine antique, not a modern reproduction in an antique style, and the hallmark makes that easy to verify, a real point of confidence for anyone building a collection of period jewellery or looking for an engagement or eternity ring with real provenance behind it. It would suit anyone drawn to rings with history, character, and a story that predates living memory.

Yes, this is real gold and genuine gemstones, hallmarked 18ct gold, Birmingham, 1911, fully authenticated by our in-house team before it ever reaches the (virtual) shelf. If you'd like to see the hallmark in person, we'd love to have you visit us in the showroom at 14 Cambridge Street, Harrogate.
