A fine antique Victorian gypsy ring crafted in solid 18ct gold and hallmarked in Birmingham for 1898. The ring is set across the front with a line of star-set gemstones, featuring a central ruby flanked by diamonds and additional rubies, each neatly flush-set into the gold band.
The star settings are a classic feature of late 19th-century gypsy rings, designed both for durability and visual impact. The stones sit low and secure within the gold, making the ring comfortable and highly wearable despite its age. The rubies display a rich pinkish-red tone, while the diamonds provide subtle contrast and sparkle.
With its smooth domed profile and traditional Victorian craftsmanship, this is a timeless antique ring that wears beautifully either alone or stacked.
