Lovely!
So pretty! I love the slightly pink tone to the ruby! Natural, mined rubies tend to be that colour – my mum’s engagement ring is an antique ruby and pearl one from at least the 1860s and they have a similar hue to yours. I personally prefer the look to modern lab rubies, although they are pretty in their own way!
I love your nails too, so cute.
1930s sounds right, especially since it’s platinum. Congrats it’s beautiful!
It’s absolutely beautiful!! ♥️
I posted this recently. My mother bought this estate piece and I eventually passed it on to my daughter to use as her engagement ring.
