Antique ruby and diamond bangle bracelet. Five gemstones are set into an engraved star burst design across the front of this 9 carat rose gold bangle. The three rubies are a bright pinkish-red color and graduated in size. Between the rubies are small peruzzi cut diamonds. The star engraved design contrasts wonderfully with the shiny smooth gold background. This polished section comes to a gentle point where it meets a tri-wire design which tapers down to a double wire design that continues all the way around the back. The bangle is oval in shape so that the design stays on top of the wrist. Circa early 20th century. In very good condition. The hallmarks are crisp and clear. It closes with a firm click and has an attached safety chain. Rubies: pinky-red in colour, round cut. Centre approx 2.7 mm, sides of approx 2.4 mm each. Diamonds: 2, peruzzi cut which is an old square cut. Each measures approx 1.55 mm to total 0.04 carats together. Hallmarked for 9 carat gold, assayed in Chester 1906.
