Edwardian Scrolls - Edwardian 18K Gold Ruby & Diamond Ring.

All of the gems are in top condition and housed into an off-set marquise shaped panel. There are engraved scroll markings above and below and ornate ridged markings to the upper regions of the ring. The shank is polished and smooth, which allows for a comfortable fit.  The Edwardian (post) era ring looks stunning when worn, a true treasure to be enjoyed for many years to come. 

George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert) June 3 1865 - January 20 1936) was the King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from May 6, 1910 until his death in 1936. 

The history of Rubies is a story rich in splendour and mystery. These precious gems have been mentioned in the Bible, worn by royalty throughout human history, and beloved to protect ancient warriors in battle. They have been thought to act as a talisman for peace and a promise of wisdom and health for the holder. 

The earliest diamonds were found in India in 4th century BC, although the youngest of all these deposits were formed 900 million years ago. A majority of these early stones were transported along the network of trade routes that connected India and China, commonly known as the Silk Road.
