Victorian Ruby & Diamond Twin Hearts Ring

$8,500

This exceptional twin heart engagement ring dates to the early Victorian era. The pair of hearts represent the couple, of course, and the gemstones themselves also have significance - the diamond represents fidelity and longevity and the ruby, romantic love and passion. Framed in rose cut diamonds, the hearts are formed in a long pear shape with almost imperceptible clefts at the tops.
