Antique Diamond and Ruby Checkerboard Ring of 14k Gold

A distinctive antique ring dating to 1890–1900, designed with a striking checkerboard arrangement of old European cut diamonds and synthetic rubies set in silver topped 14k gold. The geometric layout creates a bold interplay of vivid red and bright "white" stones, giving the piece a refined graphic quality that feels both timeless and sophisticated.

The face of the ring measures 0.6 inches by 0.35 inches wide and weighs 3.50 grams, offering a delicate yet eye-catching presence on the hand. It is presented in great antique condition, with stones secure and details well preserved.

It is a size 6.25 but can be professionally resized for an additional charge.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming gold construction.
