An antique Victorian navette dress ring circa 1880 and crafted in 10k rose gold. The fifteen diamonds that make up the border around the five graduated rubies all have the silvery rich and romantic glitter for which these chunky rose-cuts are so prized, ranging in grade and color from SI2-I3 and H/I/J. A slim and graceful shape measuring 7/8" north to south and 1/4" east to west, with a wonderfully elongating effect on the finger and a uniquely rustic old world charm.
The diamond set navette is a classic Victorian form designed to be worn as evening jewelry. Diamonds were considered too showy for daytime wear in the 19th century and candlelight would show off the sparkle of such antique-cut stones to best advantage anyway. "Navette" refers to the shape of the face: like an eye or marquise. It was an immensely popular shape for brooches, rings and pendants from the beginning of the Georgian period (1714) to the end of the Victorian (1901).
Today they are phenominal worn with a pretty stack of mixed antique bands or as an alternative style engagement or commitment ring. We 21st century girls like our sparkle any time of day.
Currently size 5 1/8 and resizable 2-3 full sizes.

In excellent condition. Not marked for gold content but acid tested to 10k rose gold.
