A domed bombé cluster set with approximately 26 round-faceted rubies in a vivid pinkish-red, prong-set across the curved surface in a tight pavé arrangement. The color is saturated and consistent across the stones The shank is composed of five parallel twisted rope-work strands that gather at the shoulders and wrap around a braided knot detail on each side before meeting the base of the dome, a construction style closely associated with French mid-century goldsmithing of the 1950s and 60s. The rope work is crisp and well-defined, showing minimal wear, and the overall weight of the gold shank is substantial. Open gallery construction beneath the dome allows light through the pavilions of the rubies, enhancing brightness and vibrant color. This ring is perfect for any outing, adding a dense splash of raspberry color and large presence on the finger, it truly is a great example of a vintage, big, beautiful look.
