A magnificent, stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian 9.20 carat ruby and 9.78 carat diamond, 9 carat yellow gold and silver set necklace; part of our Victorian ruby jewellery collection

This magnificent, fine and impressive antique Victorian ruby necklace has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold with silver settings.

The stunning setting is embellished with fourteen silver set cluster designs, each ornamented with a claw set cushion cut ruby to the centre; seven settings bear a pear-shaped drop design, and the terminating six settings bear a circular-shaped form.

Each ruby is encompassed with impressive pavé set Old European cut diamonds.

The cluster settings are further conjoined with articulating two-strand linear arrangements of ten claw set Old European round cut diamonds.

The Victorian necklace secures to the reverse with an integrated push fit clasp ornamented with a seventh circular-shaped cluster design.

The gold ruby necklace has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9 carat gold and silver.

This impressive Victorian ruby necklace is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading card, in addition to a ruby report card and certificate supplied by the Gemmological Certification Services, London*.

Such high-quality examples set with natural untreated rubies are rare to the market; the necklace is the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.

This Victorian ruby and diamond choker necklace reflects the richness and symbolism of the period, where detailed craftsmanship and expressive gemstones were highly prized. The vivid red rubies, paired with brilliant diamonds, create a striking and luxurious contrast, making the piece especially suited to milestone anniversaries, important birthdays, or significant celebrations for those who appreciate historic jewellery with bold character.

NOTE: * This documentation accredits the ruby originating in Thailand/Cambodia/Myanmar (Burma – Mogok) and certifies that the gemstones show no indications of heating.

This antique Victorian necklace is exceptional quality, set with impressive rubies displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The impressive diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

Lovely selection & excellent service

Excellent customer care.

I had to place the order over the phone as my internet was misbehaving. The lady who I spoke to could not have been more helpful and was particularly careful to get all the details correct. I was then informed about the collection and dispatch of the item purchased, by email. The item arrived as expected and it had been most well packed so that no harm could come to it. It was a delight to purchase this item from C6323, AC Silver, and I could not fault any aspect of their customer care. I was highly delighted with my silver mustard pot and it was much better than the pictures on the web site.
