Victorian fantasy for sale

[boerumbiddy]

Can't decide if this belongs here or in antiques, but somebody might enjoy this ring, in rather good shape and $2950, from an Etsy dealer:

Of course we seem to have only the word of the dealer's own gemologist that the rubies are unheated.

Not too many have a size 3.75 finger for that ring.

Fortekitty could fit that.

I'm a size 4...not my style but it sure is unique!

Are old mine rubies and emeralds more valuable, even if poorly cut?
