C1880 18K Five Stone Half Hoop Ruby Ring

The five stone 19th century ring design is one of the most enduring Victorian ring styles today.

The gold work between the stones allows the ring to be worn alongside other rings without damaging the stones. We love the scroll detail on the shoulders. The half hoop ring design and original hand drawn renderings is shown in the last image and was duplicated from the 1896 catalog of EW Streeter, with further credit to Diana Scarisbrick's book Rings: Symbols of Wealth, Power, and Affection.
