Product Story
Elegant, timeless and beautifully crafted, these 18ct Yellow Gold Ruby & Diamond Drop Earrings celebrate the enduring beauty of one of the world's most treasured gemstones.
Handcrafted in 18ct yellow gold, each earring is centred around a vibrant 1.00ct natural pear-cut ruby, gracefully framed by a halo of brilliant-cut diamonds totalling approximately 0.35ct. The elegant drop design is suspended from a diamond-set bar, creating gentle movement that allows both the rubies and diamonds to sparkle beautifully with every turn.
The rich crimson hue of the natural rubies contrasts perfectly with the brilliance of the G SI quality natural diamonds, while the warmth of polished yellow gold enhances the depth and vibrancy of each gemstone. Designed with refined proportions and classic styling, these earrings transition effortlessly from everyday elegance to evening occasions.
Whether chosen as a meaningful gift or a personal indulgence, these exceptional earrings embody timeless sophistication and expert craftsmanship.
Part of The House of Gemstones Collection by Marcus Tempus, they reflect our passion for exceptional coloured gemstones and jewellery designed to be treasured for generations.

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.
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.
