A cabochon-cut ruby set on a curb chain
This 18-carat yellow gold ring consists of a curb chain, hinged link by link, ending in a smooth plate at the back. At the centre, a cabochon-cut ruby, estimated at approximately 0.90 carats, is set in a closed setting of yellow gold. On either side, three brilliant-cut diamonds, each weighing 0.05 carats, frame it – totalling 0.30 carats for the six – whilst the first links are set with small diamonds.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The cabochon sits at the centre of the top, within a yellow gold collar that encircles it completely. The six diamonds framing it are each set on their own prongs – three on each side – along the setting. Further along, the first links on each side feature small diamonds set directly into the metal, after which the bracelet continues in polished yellow gold. At the back, the smooth plate, secured to the links by a pin, closes the ring and bears the 750 hallmark and a maker’s mark.
Why this second-hand ring
The ruby and its diamonds are clustered on the top of the ring. Beyond the pavé-set links, the chain remains in bare yellow gold right up to the plate, and its hinged links form the entire body of the ring. The smooth, faceless dome of the cabochon contrasts with the small cut diamonds that surround it.
