This Edwardian 14ct gold ‘Coo-ee’ ring with silver, diamond and ruby with enamel ring is a strikingly unique piece that indicates a connection to early Australian history, making it the perfect collector’s piece.
It features a truly unique design that showcases the word COO-EE, a term historically associated with Australia, known for its use as a call to attract attention over long distances.
At the centre of the ring is an oval of diamonds, surrounded by an oval of rubies, with a halo of diamonds in a “C” shape that further frames the design. On either side of the ring, two blue enamel “E”s add a vibrant touch, enhancing the overall striking visual.
The word COOEE is hand-engraved inside the band, adding a personal and detailed touch that suggests a deeper connection to Australian heritage. The engraving could indicate that this ring was potentially crafted in Australia, as the term COOEE is iconic to the country.
This, combined with the design and materials, suggests the ring may have been created by the Australian manufacturer Johnson & Simonsen during the Edwardian era, making it not only a beautiful piece of jewellery but also a significant piece of Australian history.
