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 gemstones, treasured for its vivid red colour, rarity and remarkable strength. As a member of the corundum family, ruby combines exceptional beauty with excellent durability.

Its rich colour has long been associated with passion, vitality and devotion, making ruby a meaningful choice for jewellery designed to be worn, loved and passed between generations.

Nature’s Artistry

Every ruby begins as a crystal, formed through extraordinary geological conditions deep within the Earth.

Caring for Ruby

Clean ruby jewellery with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and take care around delicate settings, particularly when wearing ruby rings.

Store ruby jewellery separately from softer gemstones to help prevent scratches. Natural inclusions are part of each ruby’s individual character.
