Our ruby vermeil earrings combine elegance with accessibility, featuring AAA-quality natural rubies set in 925 silver plated with 18k gold. Prices vary according to design, stone size and style, whether studs, hoops or drop earrings. Vermeil offers exceptional value, allowing you to wear the warmth of 18k gold at a more accessible price point than solid gold.
Yes, our earrings are set with genuine natural rubies of AAA quality, sourced predominantly from Thailand. Most are heat-treated to enhance their colour and brilliance, a standard practice in fine jewellery that brings out the stone's natural beauty. Natural untreated rubies or stones from prestigious origins such as Burma, Mozambique and Madagascar are available upon request.
Vermeil is 925 silver coated with a layer of 18k gold at least 5 microns thick, ensuring superior durability and quality. Gold-plated jewellery typically uses a base metal with a thinner, less resilient gilding. Vermeil delivers the warm brilliance of real gold with far greater longevity than standard gold plating.

Ruby, with a hardness of 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale, is one of the most durable gemstones for everyday wear. Vermeil does require a little care: remove your earrings before contact with water or physical activity to preserve the gilding. For intensive daily wear, our solid gold creations offer maximum durability.

Our rubies are natural, chosen for the intensity of their red rather than for perfect transparency. In vermeil, ruby reveals itself as rosé; in solid 18-carat gold, it takes on its classic deep red.
From delicate rosé to deep red, we choose each ruby for the beauty of its colour, then set it to last.
A stone you chose, a setting imagined for it. A creation that will belong to you alone.
Our bespoke service accompanies engagements, heirloom pieces and reinterpretation commissions. We work from a stone sourced for you, or from a stone you already own. Response within 48 hours, piece delivered within four to six weeks.
Les questions qu'on nous pose le plus souvent sur les vermeil ruby earrings : matières, entretien, symbolique et conseils en style.
Ruby belongs to the corundum family and owes its intense red colour to the presence of chromium in its composition. Rated 9 on the Mohs scale, it is one of the hardest stones after diamond, making it exceptionally resilient for everyday wear. Mayuri rubies are AAA quality, selected for their deep colour and outstanding brilliance.
Ruby has symbolised passion, courage and ardent love for millennia. Wearing ruby vermeil earrings expresses vital energy and emotional intensity. As the birthstone for July, ruby is also a cherished gift to celebrate wedding anniversaries and significant life milestones.
The quality of a ruby is assessed according to several key criteria:
At Mayuri, all our rubies are AAA quality.
Ruby vermeil earrings pair beautifully with other pieces in the same metal for an elegant golden harmony. Wear them with a vermeil necklace or bracelet, either as a matching set or in a mix-and-match combination for a more contemporary look. For a more luxurious effect, they also complement pieces in 18k gold.
Mayuri rubies are sourced primarily from Thailand, renowned for its AAA quality stones. The most celebrated deposits are found in Burma (Mogok rubies), Mozambique and Madagascar. On request, Mayuri can source rubies from these prestigious origins for bespoke creations.
Most rubies are heat-treated to enhance their colour and brilliance, a standard and widely accepted process in fine jewellery that improves the visual quality of the stone. Untreated natural rubies are extremely rare and command significantly higher prices. At Mayuri, our treated rubies offer excellent value, and we can source untreated natural stones on request.
Absolutely. Ruby is the official birthstone for July. Gifting ruby vermeil earrings is a meaningful and personal way to celebrate a birthday, a birth or any special occasion. The beauty of earrings is that they require no sizing, making them a universally elegant and effortless present.
Ruby lends itself wonderfully to vintage and Art Deco inspirations, with their geometric lines and intense brilliance. Vermeil, with its warm golden tone, enhances this timeless aesthetic beautifully. Mayuri offers designs ranging from refined and minimal to richly detailed, evoking the elegance of the 1920s or the glamour of the 1950s.
The ruby and diamond combination creates a striking contrast between the stone's deep red and the white brilliance of diamond. This pairing is highly coveted in fine jewellery for its refinement and visual impact. On request, Mayuri can create ruby vermeil earrings with a diamond surround or a discreet pavé setting to elevate the central stone.
Studs are discreet earrings worn close to the lobe, ideal for everyday wear. Sleeper earrings feature a hoop that encircles the lobe, offering greater security and presence. Hoops form a continuous ring, sometimes set with rubies, for a bolder and more modern style. Each style suits a different aesthetic and level of comfort.
Ruby vermeil earrings bring a sophisticated touch of colour perfectly suited to formal events: weddings, galas and prestigious dinners. Ruby, the quintessential precious stone, lends a natural elegance, while vermeil offers a luxurious gilded finish at a more accessible price than solid gold. They can be worn as a single statement piece or in a surround style for added brilliance.
Vermeil offers an excellent balance of quality and value, combining the brilliance of 18k gold with the durability of 925 silver. It provides access to refined jewellery creations at a more accessible price point than solid gold, while retaining a luxurious finish. That said, vermeil requires more delicate care and does not allow for personalisation or engraving, which are reserved for solid gold creations at Mayuri.
