Antique Georgian rose gold Burmese ruby and diamond navette ring. j-rgfn183

One of the many reasons to love antique and vintage jewelry is the unique shape that many pieces have, the focus here is the navette. A navette is a narrow oval shape with pointed ends and means “little ship”.  One of the most beautiful versions of the shape is the navette ring. The elongated shape lengthens the hand elegantly and the placement of the single round faceted ruby sprinkled with twenty-four point cut diamonds, translates into a sparkling statement. Rose gold, point cut diamonds, and the Burmese round ruby place it in the early Georgian Era (1750-1780). It is in both good condition. The center ruby measures approximately 4.00 mm. in diameter and is estimated to weigh 0.50 carats.  The total diamond weight is estimated to be on third of a carat. Ring top measures 26 x 9mm. Weight is 4 grams. Origin of ruby:  Burma. Diamonds:  India.  Country of origin:  England. Size 7-1/2
