2ct Ruby & Baguette Diamond Halo Ring

This exquisite ruby and diamond ring is an exceptional piece for several reasons. The modern setting features baguette diamonds that form a halo around the impressive 2-carat oval ruby, which is the star of this piece. Rubies of this size, particularly those weighing 2 carats or more, are quite rare. The element chromium gives rubies their rich red color, but also inhibits crystal growth. Consequently, most large rubies available in the market are lab-created or heavily treated. In contrast, this natural ruby, which has undergone only heat treatment, is a true find. If you have been searching for a pigeon's blood red ruby—one that is genuinely red, not pink or purple—this ring fits the bill.

Additionally, the modern setting is low-profile and well-crafted, making it suitable for everyday wear, whether as an engagement ring or a right-hand anniversary ring. We designed this diamond halo to resemble a star, but it also evokes the image of a rising sun. Regardless of how you interpret it, the beautiful ruby and diamonds are truly captivating.
