Another treasure from one of our famous early Australian jewellers, Jochim Wendt.

Handcrafted from bright 18ct yellow gold, featuring a central ‘gypsy’ set round faceted ruby, flanked by two old mine cut diamonds also gypsy-set to a flat but very slight raised ornate pointed buckle motif.

Tapering from 7.2mm at the widest point to 3mm at the rear of the shank.

With Wendts hallmark stamped very clearly to the inside of the band with an accompanying 18ct stamp also.

Truly a ring for the collector however very wearable today with such a low profile.
