Accent Stones Ruby Earring 1.16 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 14K White Gold

There is a particular comfort in wearing gems that carry both a long history and a living presence, and these pear shape ruby and diamond drop earrings embody that continuity. Rubies have been coveted for millennia, admired by monarchs and travelers who saw in their red a symbol of courage, protection, and enduring passion. The pair before you channels that same noble spirit, sourced from the rich deposits of Mozambique, a region that has been contributing some of the most vividly saturated rubies to the world market in living memory. The design draws on classical lines, the pear silhouette offering a gentle nod to antique drops and heirloom silhouettes, while the clean modern setting and choice of platinum 950 root the piece firmly in contemporary luxury. Each ruby reads like a tiny emblem of time, a natural archive captured in color and clarity, set to hang quietly and confidently, close to the face where its warmth and fire will be most admired.

Every technical detail of these earrings has been curated to honor the stone and to ensure lasting beauty. The pair features ruby weight totaling 1.16 carats, each gem cut to a pear shape with dimensions 6.79 x 4.57 x 2.25 millimeters, and presented in a mixed brilliant cut that balances depth and scintillation. Their clarity has been graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to the fine transparency and refinement of these natural crystals. Color is exceptional, with vivid saturation that reads as true red, deep and luminous under varied light, and each stone has received an excellent polish to bring forward its internal life. These rubies are natural, and they have not been subjected to enhancement, which means that their beauty is wholly of natural origin, a precious attribute for collectors and for those who value authenticity.

Complementing the rubies are white natural round diamonds, totalling approximately 0.20 carats, chosen for their purity and classical presence. The diamonds carry a clarity in the Very Slightly Included range, described as VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F, which affords a bright, near colorless appearance that will refract light without competing with the warmth of the rubies. The diamonds serve not merely as accents, but as a luminous counterpoint, creating a refined dialogue between cool and warm tones. Set above each pear ruby, the diamonds act as a poised pivot, from which the ruby drops gather their motion and presence. The overall composition is measured, every element calibrated so that the diamonds bring light, and the rubies return it with rich, saturated glow. The effect is both regal and intimate, well suited to quieter, meaningful occasions as well as evenings that call for a touch of red majesty.

The metalwork is integral to the narrative, executed in platinum 950 for both its durability and its historical associations with permanence and prestige. The setting is designed to integrate each gemstone into the metal as if they were born together, not merely mounted. Prongs and gallery are sculpted to hug the contours of the pear rubies securely, while remaining visually discreet, allowing the gemstones to appear to float against the skin. The attachment to the diamond stud above is engineered to allow a quiet hinge of movement, which encourages the stones to catch light with every tilt, and yet the construction is meticulous enough to provide daily wear confidence. At The Natural Ruby Company we emphasize methods that respect the stone, the metal, and the wearer, and this pair of earrings is a clear expression of that ethos. They are designed to be an heirloom in both form and spirit, a piece that reads as ancient in sentiment and impeccable in contemporary execution, ready to be worn, preserved, and passed down as a token of enduring taste and affection.
