Edwardian Ring

If you like some of the classical designs of rings, but you are looking for something a little more out of the ordinary than a traditional antique large round ring, than the Edwardian platinum ruby and diamond ring should be something that you should look up and consider getting. Its flashy diamond and ruby top and rectangle cut design will surely be just the thing to distract you from the mundane world of normal jewelry. It is also something that a true connoisseur of fine rings will definitely want to have to spice up their collection.

If you aren’t that into the jewelry world but you are interested in these rings, than you should know that Edwardian rings were engagement rings in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. This time period was roughly from nineteen hundred to nineteen hundred and ten, during the reign of King Edward VII. The era was known for its opulent jewelry, and the Edwardian platinum ruby and diamond ring is no exception.

The Edwardian style of rings and jewelry were specifically geared at the romantic tendencies of the age and were meant almost exclusively for the upper class who could afford to buy this kind of jewelry to showcase their wealth. This is a startling contrast to many of the jewelry that is out today and its minimalistic designs that tend to just showcase the jewels themselves instead of trying to turn the gems into a more intrinsic work of art that puts the jewelry maker’s craftsmanship and talents on display as well.

The platinum is still just as sleek and as perfected as it is in most modern rings, however, it is the curvature of the metal and the designs that are intricately carved into this rings surface marks it as something special. A large ruby sits in the middle of the ring with a flat rectangle background surrounding it embedded with nearly a carat of diamonds. The metal is carefully carved and placed in between these jewels and demonstrates how important the artistry of the ring is to its very integrity.

Usually this kind of ring retails for a few thousand dollars, but the pure beauty and craftsmanship that is involved in making them definitely sets them apart from the pack of ordinary jewelry and makes the ring well worth the month spent on it. With this beauty on your finger there will definitely be no shortage of jealous women asking where it came from and wishing that they had something on their ring finger a little more out of the ordinary than a plain diamond and band setting.
