Fine Antique Belle Époque Old-Cut Diamond and Ruby Target Ring

A fine Early 20th Century Belle Epoque ruby and diamond oval target engagement ring.

Crafted circa 1910, this exquisite antique target ring beautifully embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of the Belle Époque era. At its centre sits a charming old mine cushion-cut diamond, surrounded by a vibrant halo of richly coloured calibré-cut rubies and an outer scalloped border of finely set single-cut diamonds.

The target ring design is a distinctive style associated with the early 20th century, particularly the Belle Époque, Edwardian, and later Art Deco periods. Characterised by a central gemstone framed by concentric halos of contrasting stones, this design creates a striking and timeless visual effect.
