Ruby and Diamond Gypsy Ring

There is a reason why gypsy style rings have been popular for millennia – they are the ultimate jewel you can ”live in”. This luxurious, yet understated, 18k yellow gold ring centres on a cabochon ruby, between old European-cut diamonds. The gypsy ring, famed for its simplicity and durability, epitomises easy luxury. Imperial Romans first popularised the style, and the gypsy ring reached peak commerciality as a masculine style in the Victorian era. Women began wearing gypsy rings as a provocative statement against the hyper feminine jewellery of the Decorative Arts movement. The style has endured as a fine jewel for all genders for centuries and continues to be the go-to choice for those seeking practical and unconventional jewellery styles. This vintage ring features a cabochon ruby framed between two flush- set European-cut diamonds on a chunky 18k yellow gold band. Achingly chic, this centuries-old design feels incredibly contemporary and the nonchalance of flush-set diamonds make this piece perfect for everyday wear. Distinctive for its smooth convex surface, the cabochon cut reveals this ruby€™s unique inclusions and markings to showcase its organic, natural beauty. A subtle flash of sunken diamonds adds a hint of extravagance to this wonderfully minimal piece.
