Edwardian Inspired Cushion Cut 1.17ct Ruby and Diamond Cluster Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold and Platinum

A striking ruby and diamond cluster ring that has been inspired by the Edwardian period. A central cushion cut ruby (1.17ct) has been securely claw set into 18ct yellow gold. Twelve sparkling brilliant cut diamonds (0.60ct) surround the central ruby perfectly defining this alluring gemstone. Traditionally worn together rubies and diamonds have a rich history in jewellery with diamonds symbolising love and prosperity, and rubies passion and devotion. The Edwardian period (1901-1910) saw an explosion in jewellery design and craftsmanship. This was driven by the royal court, which was steered by the fashion-conscious King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Combining the birthstones for the months of April and July this will make a beautiful and sentimental dress ring.
