Set in warm eighteen karat yellow gold, the ruby sings with an intensified, almost incandescent glow, the metal embracing the red tones like a sunlit frame.

For a rarer and more couture effect, flank the ruby with deep cornflower blue sapphires, their cool blue providing a regal counterpoint that sharpens the red into a jewel tone of breathtaking intensity. Alternatively, place a pair of fine green emeralds at the shoulders to create a classical, color charged composition, the green to red contrast evoking antique court jewels and a narrative sense of lineage.
