925 Sterling Silver Red Corundum Rectangle CZ Huggie Earrings
Red corundum is the scientific name for ruby. Corundum — aluminum oxide, Al₂O₃ — is the second hardest mineral on earth after diamond, rating 9 on the Mohs scale. When corundum is red, it is a ruby. When it is any other color, it is a sapphire. The red of the ruby — the red that comes from trace amounts of chromium within the crystal structure — is the most prized color in the history of gemstones. Ancient Burmese warriors embedded rubies in their skin before battle, believing the stone made them invincible. Ancient Hindus called the ruby "ratnaraj" — the king of gemstones. The ruby is the July birthstone, the stone of passion, of courage, and of the life force itself. This 925 sterling silver huggie earring sets a red corundum main stone alongside white zircon CZ accent stones in the rectangular geometric design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 1.83g. The earring that wears the king of gemstones in the most modern form possible.
Why You'll Love It
-
Red Corundum — The Ruby's Chemistry — Red corundum is the scientific name for ruby — the same aluminum oxide crystal structure, the same chromium that creates the red color, the same 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. The red corundum that delivers the ruby's color — the most prized red in the history of gemstones — in a stone that is simultaneously scientifically precise and visually indistinguishable from the natural ruby it replicates.
-
Rectangle Design — The Modern Geometric — The rectangular frame — the clean, architectural shape that gives the red corundum its most contemporary and most graphic setting. The rectangle that makes the vivid red of the corundum appear most bold and most intentional, the geometric precision that transforms the organic color of the stone into a modern fine jewelry statement.
-
Red & White — The Most Powerful Color Contrast — Red corundum main stone and white zircon CZ accent stones — the vivid, saturated red of the corundum against the brilliant white of the CZ accents, the color combination of passion and purity, of fire and ice. The red and white that makes both colors appear most vivid and most powerful by contrast — the earring that is impossible to ignore.
-
Huggie Hoop Form — The Bold Huggie — The close-fitting huggie hoop carries the red corundum rectangle close to the ear — the earring form that keeps the bold red stone at the perfect distance for its color to be seen clearly and appreciated fully. The huggie that is bold enough to make a statement and minimal enough to wear every day.
-
Two Plating Options — Choose 14K gold plating for the warm, classic finish that gives the red corundum its most traditional and most regal expression — the gold and ruby-red combination that has been the standard of royal jewelry for centuries. Or choose platinum plating for the cool, modern white metal look that gives the red corundum its most contemporary and most graphic expression — the silver frame that makes the red appear most vivid and most bold by contrast.
