Description
This is a fabulous 22k solid gold ring with a classic bright red ruby. The design is based on an ancient Etruscan style with intricate twisted wire details. This ring is an extraordinary piece with an extremely rare and valuable natural ruby.
The ruby comes from the Winza mine in Tanzania and is completely natural (unheated and not glass filled). It has saturated red color and is super bright even in subdued light with excellent clarity. There are a few minor inclusions in this stone that appear to be dark spots beneath the surface. In my opinion they don’t detract from what is an otherwise beautiful all natural gemstone.
The ring at its widest point is approx. 3/8” wide (at the front – measured from top to bottom) and the band is approx. 1/8” wide at the back. (See photo with older U.S. dime for size/scale.)
