Vintage 1970s Ruby (Unheated) and Diamond Five-Stone 18ct Yellow Gold Ring (1.44ct)

A timeless vintage treasure from the 1970s, this ruby and diamond five-stone ring is the kind of piece that instantly lifts your mood the moment it catches the light. At the centre sits a beautifully vibrant, completely natural ruby with no indication of heat treatment, cut in a charming old cut style that gives it a soft, romantic glow.

Framed by a line of sparkling diamonds (two old cut and two contemporary brilliant cut), it has that perfect balance of colour and brilliance. The ring is crafted in rich 18ct yellow gold, with a bright white gold ring head that creates a crisp, white-toned finish around the stones. This subtle two-tone look beautifully enhances the diamonds’ sparkle and makes the ruby’s colour feel even more vivid, while the golden band keeps the overall feel classic and timeless.

This ring features an earlier ruby and two old-cut diamonds, which have likely been reset into a 1970s setting. Fully hallmarked as 18ct gold, with sponsor mark MJ and date letter B for 1976. Wear it as a right-hand ring for a confident pop of colour, pair it with your favourite gold band for a vintage-inspired stack, or let it shine solo as a timeless statement.

The ruby has been tested by an independent gemmological laboratory using FTIR, UV-Vis-NIR and Raman spectroscopy, with the report stating no indications of heating and origin assessed as Thailand.
