A stunning and unusual diamond and ruby bypass ring from the Edwardian (ca1910) era! Crafted in 14k yellow gold and platinum, the piece features a sparkling old mine cut diamond and vibrant oval cut ruby nestled together at the center, forming a stylish "Moi et Toi" ("Me and You") design. Each stone rests in a platinum scalloped prong-setting, while the band is yellow gold, creating a lovely mixed metals appeal. The diamond displays J color and SI1 clarity and has an approximate total carat weight of .75ct. The ruby, which displays a gorgeous deep reddish-pink hue, has an approximate total carat weight of .65ct and has no indications of heating. The shoulders of the ring feature intricate floral motif etchings. The inside of the shank is stamped "14K". A beautiful and feminine design, it could make a unique engagement ring, or a special addition to any antique jewelry collection!
Measurements: The ring has a finger size 6, but could easily be re-sized. When worn, the stones rest approximately 1/4" above the finger. The tapered band measures approximately 1.7mm wide at the back.
Condition: The overall condition of the ring is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the yellow gold or platinum setting. Both the diamond and ruby are intact and securely set.
