2ct Ruby & Baguette Diamond Halo Ring

This exquisite ruby and diamond ring is an exceptional piece for several reasons. The modern mounting uses baguette diamonds to form a halo around the gemmy 2ct oval ruby, the shining star of this piece. Rubies are scarce in size 2ct or above: the element chromium, which gives them a rich red color, also inhibits crystal growth. Most large rubies on the market are lab-created or heavily treated, so this natural heat-only gem is a true find. If you have been looking for a pigeon's blood red ruby - not pink, not purple, but truly red - this one fits the bill.

Additionally, the modern mounting is low-profile and well-made, designed for everyday wear with an engagement ring or right-hand anniversary ring. We created this diamond halo to resemble a star, but in retrospect, it also evokes the image of a rising sun. Regardless of what you see here, the beautiful ruby and diamonds are truly captivating.
