Marcus Tempus
Product Story
Some jewellery is designed to sparkle. Others are designed to be remembered.
At the heart of this remarkable engagement ring rests a magnificent 1.20ct natural oval ruby, celebrated for its rich crimson colour and exceptional presence. A gemstone long associated with love, courage and enduring passion, the ruby takes centre stage in a design that feels both timeless and unmistakably individual.
Rather than surrounding the centre stone with a traditional halo, elegant clusters of marquise-cut natural diamonds unfurl on either side like delicate leaves. Their graceful botanical form creates a beautiful sense of movement, drawing the eye naturally towards the ruby while adding brilliance from every angle. The result is a ring that feels refined, balanced and quietly distinctive.
Expertly crafted in Platinum 950, the cool lustre of platinum provides the perfect backdrop for the vivid ruby, while the warm 18ct yellow gold claws enrich the gemstone's natural colour and create a subtle contrast that highlights its remarkable depth. Every detail has been carefully considered to allow the ruby to remain the heart of the design.
Romantic yet contemporary, this is a ring created for those who appreciate exceptional coloured gemstones and thoughtful craftsmanship. Whether chosen as an engagement ring or to mark one of life's most meaningful moments, it is a piece designed to become part of your story for generations to come.

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
