Oval Ruby & Diamond Halo Ring | 18ct Yellow Gold

A natural oval ruby framed by a delicate diamond halo with a milgrain edge, in 18ct yellow gold.

A deep raspberry-red ruby sits at the centre at 1.53 carats, ringed by a halo of small round diamonds inside a fine beaded gold edge. The white diamonds lift the red and add sparkle around it, while the warm yellow gold deepens the colour rather than cooling it. The milgrain detailing gives it a soft, vintage feel. A rich, glowing piece with real presence.

About ruby

Its colour comes from traces of chromium, which give the best stones that vivid, unmistakable red. A hard-wearing stone that suits everyday wear and has been treasured for centuries.

Hardness: 9 on the Mohs scale
Birthstone: July

Please note: This is a natural ruby, so its exact colour and character are unique to the stone. The piece you receive will be its own variation.
