This vintage platinum ring showcases a stunning 1.91ct unheated Burma ruby and antique old-cut diamonds, all carefully set into an original Bulgari mounting. While the gemstones were later added, they complement the setting beautifully, creating a seamless blend of historic craftsmanship and exceptional gemstones.
The center ruby, certified by GRS, features a rich pinkish-red hue with strong fluorescence, a hallmark of fine Burmese rubies. Completely unheated, this gem retains its natural beauty and fiery brilliance, with some internal inclusions that confirm its authenticity and rarity.
As an antique gemstone, the ruby exhibits subtle surface wear consistent with age, including light natural abrasions from years of wear—a characteristic often seen in older, historically cherished stones. These gentle signs of time do not affect the gem’s beauty but instead enhance its authenticity and vintage appeal.
Framing the ruby are two antique old-cut diamonds, weighing 0.70ct and 0.85ct, graded K-L color and SI clarity, radiating the charm of early hand-cut stones. The structured design is completed with two baguette-cut diamonds on each side (0.05ct each, VS clarity), adding a touch of refined Art Deco symmetry.
