9 Carat Gold Five-Stone Ruby Ring - A Tale of Timeless Elegance and Natural Beauty
 
This exquisite vintage ruby ring whispers stories of enduring charm and refined craftsmanship. At its heart lie five natural rubies, gently graduating in size to a total weight of approximately 0.91 carats, each glowing with a rich, moderate purple-red hue that captures the essence of passion and grace.
 
Set within a delicate scrolling gallery, the goldwork rises and curves to cradle each gem as if in a private embrace, while the finely detailed scrolling shoulders add a flourish of classic elegance, reminiscent of an era when jewellery was both a declaration and a keepsake.
 
Stamped with full British hallmarks, this estate treasure carries the signature of Charles Lyster & Son, Birmingham, a maker renowned for quality and timeless designs. Its journey through time has added character, with three tiny chips to the rubies, visible only under loupe magnification—little marks of a life well-lived yet still evaluated in good condition by Vintage Virtue’s Gemologist and Valuer.
 
A perfect statement of sustainable luxury, this ring invites a new chapter of stories, destined to be cherished anew.
