@RRfromR, just going by the pics they don't look like old cuts to me but I'll be interested to hear what others think. I do think it's a beautiful ring!
It came back from appraisal - original, late art deco area, marquise and round cuts, all VS1s, a little less than a ct. Ruby is original to the ring, hand cut, heat only with no residue, strong red with slight purple. I'd have to send it to GIA for origin. After telling him what I spent, he highly recommended keeping it, and this guy is not a big fan of antiques. So it's a keeper!
