Civil War Ruby and Pearl Ring. Prong set are three, 3mm Rubies and two 4mm pearls that are all natural. The rubies are Burma Rubies the most desired rubies of the 19th Century. The front of the ring is inch across and inch tall. It is now 6 in ring size, but can be made smaller or larger.
All prongs are strong and the ring is fine to wear.
It is in excellent condition. Just dug from an Alabama camp just outside Vicksburg, this is designated as Albert's AB3-A5v . It has a large amount of gold gilt on the face, a straight stand-up shank and no pushes, dings, cracks or problems. It has a very faint Halfman Montgomery backmark and is a rare little buton in excellent dug condition. Would be a great addition to anyone's Confederate button collection.
