1.80ctw Ruby Harem Ring18K
Embrace the elegance and history of this vintage Harem ring, circa 1950-60s, crafted in luxurious 18K gold. This stunning piece features five tapered bands adorned with round rubies, totaling 1.80 carats. Known as Harem or Turkish rings, these iconic designs trace their origins to the Ottoman Empire, where sultans would gift them as tokens of affection to their favorites. They were later adopted as wedding rings in Turkey and gained popularity in Western Europe during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Although the bands appear to be separate, they are connected by a gold retainer, allowing them to move individually and stack as a cohesive unit—creating the effect of wearing a lovely tiara on your finger. This estate item is in excellent condition with minimal wear and is offered as received. Cleaning and polishing are available upon request at no additional charge.
