An unusual French Art Deco cluster ring, dating to around 1920, crafted in 18K gold with platinum-topped diamond settings. The design is highly geometric, built around a central natural button pearl and four triangular-cut rubies arranged in a compass-like cross. Around this sits a circular border of rose-cut diamonds, set in platinum with fine millegrain detail, giving the ring a bright silver-white outline against the warmer gold construction beneath.The composition is very much of the Art Deco period, where jewellers often favoured sharp geometry, symmetry and strong contrast between materials. The triangular rubies are particularly effective here, their vivid pinkish-red colour giving the ring a more graphic and unusual character than a conventional floral cluster.The stones are all open-backed, allowing light through the rubies and making the ring easier to clean than earlier closed-back examples. The shoulders split neatly as they rise towards the circular bezel, adding to the architectural feel of the design while keeping the ring comfortable and wearable.The ring is made in 18K gold, with platinum-topped settings to the diamond border, and weighs 5.8 grams. The head measures approximately 18 × 14mm, with the central pearl measuring approximately 5mm in diameter. The triangular rubies measure approximately 5 × 6mm. Ring size is UK P / US 7.75.Condition is excellent, with all stones securely set and the pearl well preserved. There is light surface wear to the gold, consistent with age, but the structure is sound and the overall design remains crisp.A very distinctive French Art Deco ruby, diamond and pearl ring, combining strong geometric form with the softness of a central pearl - a fine example of early 20th-century French jewellery design.
