Small But Mighty : Natural Ruby and Opal 15ct Rose Gold Gypsy Ring

Small but mighty 💖 I’ve been breaking my own rules with this lovely antique rose gold gypsy – it doesn’t fit me but I keep finding excuses to keep it.
I love how the tiny natural rubies and opal cabochons stones have such ENORMOUS colour! I love the crisp English hallmarks for Chester 1890. I love its wonderful condition!
I don’t love that it’s a size 5.5 / K and spins on my finger. It could be resized, but I just can’t bring myself to mess with it.
Call me a fool but I take it as a sign that it’s meant for another hand than mine. Are you the lucky lady?
