925 Sterling Silver Ruby Red Corundum CZ Geometric Huggie Earrings
The ruby is the red that all other reds are measured against. The red of the rose is beautiful, but it fades. The red of the sunset is magnificent, but it lasts only minutes. The red of the ruby — the deep, saturated, internally luminous red that the gemologists call "pigeon's blood" when it is at its finest — is the red that does not fade, that does not change with the light, that is as vivid in the darkness of a vault as it is in the light of the afternoon sun. The ruby is the birthstone of July — the month of the hottest sun, the most vivid heat, the most intense light. It is one of the four precious gemstones — alongside the diamond, the emerald, and the sapphire — and in the ancient world it was considered the most precious of all. In Sanskrit, the ruby is called "ratnaraj" — the king of gems. In Burma, the country that has produced the finest rubies in the world for more than five hundred years, warriors embedded rubies in their skin before battle, believing that the stone would make them invincible. In ancient India, the ruby was called the "drop of blood from the heart of Mother Earth" and was believed to be the most powerful of all the protective stones. The ruby red corundum CZ geometric huggie earring takes the color of the world's most beloved red gemstone and sets it in 925 sterling silver with white zircon CZ accent stones in the geometric huggie form — the deep, saturated red of the ruby in the most intimate and most wearable earring form, the red that does not fade on the earlobe. This 925 sterling silver huggie earring sets red corundum and white zircon CZ in the geometric design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 1.44g. The earring that wears the king of gems on the earlobe.

Ruby Red Corundum — The King of Gems — Red corundum — the mineral that gives the ruby its color, the stone that ancient Sanskrit called "ratnaraj" (the king of gems), that Burmese warriors embedded in their skin for invincibility, that ancient India called "the drop of blood from the heart of Mother Earth." The deep, saturated red that does not fade, that is as vivid in darkness as in light. The ruby red corundum earring that carries the meaning of the world's most beloved red gemstone in the most accessible and most wearable form.

Red + White CZ — The Royal Combination — Red corundum in the center and white zircon CZ in the accent stones — the deep, saturated red of the ruby and the diamond-look brilliance of the white CZ, the combination that has been used in the finest jewelry for centuries to make the red center stone appear most vivid and most luminous. The red that is most beautiful when it is framed by white, the white that is most brilliant when it is set against red.
