1891 Rubover Old Cut Dreamboat

A truly wonderful old cut sapphire and diamond rubover ring dated to 1891

Why we love it

Why do we love it?

Hmmm that’s a difficult one to answer; it’s always challenging to put true love into words, right?

This is an exceptional example of its kind. The stones are TDF, all three are old cuts, the sapphire just the right shade of mid-blue and the diamonds lively and white

Plus we always love a good rubover (yes if there’s a double entendre to be had you can guarantee that Emma will find it)
