Product Story

Elegant, refined and effortlessly timeless, these 18ct Gold Ruby & Diamond Drop Earrings are a beautiful celebration of one of the world's most treasured gemstones.

Handcrafted in 18ct yellow gold, each earring features a vibrant natural ruby surrounded by a delicate halo of brilliant diamonds. Suspended beneath a polished gold stud by a graceful articulated link, the design creates gentle movement, allowing the rubies and diamonds to catch the light with every turn.

The rich crimson hue of the rubies is beautifully complemented by the brilliance of the surrounding diamonds and the warmth of polished gold, creating a timeless combination that transitions effortlessly from daytime elegance to evening occasions.

Designed to become treasured favourites for years to come, these earrings combine classic styling with exceptional craftsmanship, making them a wonderful gift for anniversaries, birthdays or simply to celebrate life's special moments.

Part of The House of Gemstones Collection by Marcus Tempus, they embody our passion for exceptional coloured gemstones, timeless design and beautifully crafted jewellery that is made to be worn and loved.

Why We Treasure Ruby

Ruby is one of the most celebrated red gemstones, treasured for its vivid colour, rarity and strength. As a member of the corundum family, ruby combines remarkable beauty with excellent durability, making it a meaningful choice for jewellery designed to be worn and loved often.

Nature’s Artistry

Every ruby begins as a crystal, formed deep within the Earth.

Caring for Ruby

Clean ruby jewellery gently with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Store separately from softer gemstones and avoid harsh chemicals around delicate settings.

Natural inclusions are part of ruby’s unique character and beauty.

Gemologist’s Insight

The finest rubies display a rich, vivid red with excellent saturation. Subtle variations in tone and natural inclusions reflect their authentic origin and create the depth and life that make each ruby one of a kind.
