Art Deco White Sapphire Halo Target Ring with Synthetic Rubies and 18K Gold c. 1900

Luminous, beautifully crafted, and effortlessly chic, this engagement ring was made in France c. 1910. Crafted to look like a "target", a central white sapphire stone is surrounded by calibrated synthetic rubies. The band of the ring is crafted from 18k yellow gold, hallmarked with an eagle head and visible in photo ten. White sapphires make an excellent alternative to diamonds for engagement rings as they are tough, ranking in at a 9 on the Moh's scale, and resistant to scratches that occur with everyday wear. They don't have as much fire as diamonds but have excellent brilliance and reflect the light beautifully. The central old European cut sapphire measures about 5.2 mm across, for approximately .61 carats in weight. The halo of rubies were created with the verneuil flame fusion process and have been carefully cut to size and snuggly fit inside the yellow gold halo frame. the It would make a lovely, historic engagement ring or as a special treat to yourself. A very special piece that carries all of the design elements that make us fall in love with antique jewelry.

CONDITION NOTES:
The ring is asymmetrical as one side has a white gold embellishment flanking the central sapphire while the other side has a split yellow gold band. I like the uniqueness of the look but if it bothers you it would be easy to get a jeweler to remove the white gold embellishment to have a matching design on both sides of the ring. Check photos and video for details.
