For your consideration is this beautiful Strellman Hibiscus Ruby created in the Art Nouveau style, it is considered Organic Modernist, a work of art created in the 1970's by the talented and well respected jewelry designer Dick Strellman. This ring has been in my jewelry storage for over 20 years. I've only worn it 2 or 3 times and now it is time to let someone else love and enjoy this treasure! It is a lab created ruby made in Switzerland and regarded as amongst the highest quality available. I find the intricate detailing in this ring to be fascinating. Notice the daylight coming through the leaves. This stone is very clear, 4 carats large and absolutely brilliant in day light and bright indoor light ~ enchanting by candlelight ~ Rubies are symbols of Love and Passion and Valor. Lab created Rubies have all of the chemical properties and physical characteristics of mined Rubies. Only a gemologist would truly be able to tell the difference. The band is stamped Strell on the one side and 14k P on the other side. The P stands for Plumb, meaning EXACTLY 14k gold. It does NOT mean plated. There was a time in the past when an item marked 14k could legally have been 13.5 karat and still considered 14k. I find this to be a very interesting historical fact. It's a size 6 1/2, and can be resized without harming the markings inside.
