2.20 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Ruby and Natural Diamond Antique Style Earrings, 18K White Gold

These exquisite stud earrings from The Natural Ruby Company showcase ten red oval shaped mixed brilliant cut rubies, weighing a total of 2.20 carats, each chosen for intense color saturation and a clarity grade of very slightly included, paired with twelve white round shaped brilliant cut natural diamonds, weighing a total of 0.45 carats, with a clarity grade of very slightly included and F color, all set entirely in 18K white gold. The floral cluster design places each ruby as a petal around a delicate diamond center, the oval mixed brilliant cut chosen to maximize the depth of red while allowing exceptional light return. The diamonds are positioned to create crisp white flashes that lift and frame the rubies, the contrast between the intense red and the icy F-color diamonds producing a balanced, elegant glow. The overall composition is symmetrical and scaled to sit close to the earlobe for everyday refinement, while the total carat weight provides presence without heaviness.

The craftsmanship behind the precise gemstone placement is meticulous, each stone set by hand using fine prong cups that hold the rubies securely without obscuring their table or pavilion, allowing light to enter and reflect freely. Our setters at The Natural Ruby Company calibrate prong height and angle for each oval ruby to maintain a uniform profile, taking into account slight natural variations in cutting and inclusion patterns, ensuring matched color flow and visual harmony. The round diamonds are micro set with exacting spacing to create a scintillating halo effect, the tiny shared prongs aligned to preserve symmetry and minimize metal visibility. The 18K white gold mount is formed into a shallow basket with an open gallery, engineered to support the cluster while permitting light to access each gem from multiple planes, with the posts and friction backs crafted for comfort and security. Final polishing and quality checks focus on alignment, secure setting, and finish, so each earring pair leaves our bench ready to wear. For those seeking a piece that marries traditional gemmology with contemporary precision, these ruby and diamond earrings represent the care, expertise, and attention to detail that define The Natural Ruby Company.
