This is a gemstone cluster ring from Germany, dating back to the 1810-1820s, crafted entirely in 14k gold and set with a rose-cut diamond and rubies.

A cluster ring typically features a larger central stone surrounded by smaller gemstones, designed to visually accentuate the central stone. This design remains very popular even today.
This particular piece has a central rose-cut diamond with a diameter of 5.5mm. The outer circle of rubies is set in an open-back style, showcasing their bright and vivid color and sparkle without the need for foil backing, indicating the high quality of the gemstones.

The ring shank features openwork designs that extend into flowing, delicate fern leaves and floral motifs, creating a soft and varied contour that is both delicate and intricate.
