Five vertically aligned red rubies demand your attention in this antique ruby diamond marquise cluster ring.  The quality of the rubies in this antique ring are unforgettable and very hard to find.  These breathtaking natural red rubies are red with a hint of purple (rubies 1.30 ct tw).  Framing these hand cut, uncommon rubies are sixteen old European cut diamonds (1.25 ct tw) which bring a warm fiery look.  This antique navette shaped ring ring was a sign of great wealth around the turn of the century.   This antique ruby ring is made in 18kt yellow gold.

Old European diamonds are often thought to be old mine cut diamonds, because both diamond cuts have high crowns and fewer diamond facets than today's brilliant cut diamond.
