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 rubys 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.
