Sophia early 20th century antique ruby and diamond five stone engagement ring

Sophia is stunning – a classic five stone engagement ring in the Victorian style featuring two vivid red rubies and two elegant rose cut diamonds that gently graduate outwards from a central 0.30-carat oval ruby. The warmth of the 15-carat gold setting really brings out the rich tones in the rubies and the craftsmanship is exquisite. A classic design flourish closely associated with the Victorian era, the sides are lightly engraved – possibly with a fleur-de-lys pattern – complemented by deeply engraved shoulders, with the design resembling the ocean waves. A symbolic choice for an engagement ring, the stones in a five-stone ring are traditionally said to denote the five stages of a romantic relationship, starting with friendship and ending with children. If this interpretation sounds a little antiquated to you, a more modern take is that the five stones are representative of the five aspects of your relationship that you love and appreciate the most.
