Victorian 5 Stone Ruby Diamond Ring 18k Gold

This late Victorian ruby and diamond gold ring was handcrafted in Chester, England c.1900. Perfectly pink rubies, three in all, decorate the ring face, accented perfectly with two old European cut diamonds, all set in a beautifully hand carved 18k gold band. This lovely ring is fully hallmarked, and while the letter year code is too worn to make out, I would confidently date it to the turn of the century. The hallmarks include the crown hallmark for England, the wheat sheaves hallmark for Chester, England, and the gold purity hallmark "18" for 18 karat gold. There is also a maker’s mark that reads "H G & SLtd". The ring face measures 6.6 x 15 mm, the band is 1.8 mm thick and tapers to 2.2 mm wide at the back. It is a size 7.5 and weighs 3.3 grams.Sometimes, surprises are necessary just to see her smile like a thousand suns. And sometimes, gold ruby and diamond rings are just what is needed to do the trick.I offer a 3-5 payment layaway on most items purchased for full retail price,
