Rose Gold Ruby Earrings

Ruby symbolizes passion, ardent love, and courage since ancient times. Wearing ruby earrings expresses a confident and passionate personality while bringing vitality and self-assurance. As the birthstone for July, ruby is also traditionally given to celebrate 40 years of marriage, embodying enduring and intense love.

An authentic ruby displays natural inclusions visible under magnification, a sign of its natural origin, unlike perfectly transparent synthetic stones. Its deep red color remains intense under different lighting conditions, and its hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale makes it resistant to scratches. At Mayuri, each pair of earrings comes with a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the AAA quality of our rubies.

Burmese rubies are renowned for their intense "pigeon's blood" red color with a slight bluish fluorescence, while Thai rubies display darker red tones with purple nuances. Mayuri rubies come primarily from Thailand, offering excellent value, but we can source Burmese rubies upon request for collectors seeking this prestigious provenance.

For discreet studs suitable for everyday wear, choose rubies of 0.30 to 0.50 carats per stone. For a more sophisticated evening look, opt for rubies of 0.70 to 1.50 carats that beautifully catch the light. Drops and huggies can accommodate more generous stones, up to 2 carats, creating an elegant signature piece without excess.

18k rose gold (750/1000) contains 75% pure gold and offers a more subtle and durable rosy-gold hue, ideal for enhancing the intensity of ruby without visual competition. 14k gold, containing less pure gold, presents a more coppery color and increased resistance to impact. At Mayuri, we favor 18k rose gold for a perfect balance between the nobility of the metal, durability, and chromatic harmony with ruby.

Studs in rose gold ruby are perfectly suited for professional daily wear and casual outfits. Ruby-set hoops add a modern and versatile touch, while huggies and drops create a sophisticated effect for evenings and events. For a wedding or anniversary, choose ruby halo diamond earrings that combine brilliance and refinement.

The ruby-diamond pairing on rose gold creates a striking contrast between the warmth of red and the white brilliance of diamond, enhanced by the romantic hue of rose gold. Diamonds can surround the central ruby in a halo setting, line the contours in pavé, or alternate with rubies for a trilogy effect. This combination brings luminosity and sophistication while enhancing the chromatic intensity of ruby.

No, ruby is an exceptionally stable stone that never loses its natural color over time or in light. Its composition of aluminum oxide with traces of chromium guarantees a permanent red hue. Only dust and cosmetic residue can temporarily dull its brilliance, easily restored with gentle cleaning using warm soapy water. This chromatic stability makes ruby a lasting investment.

The art deco style is characterized by clean geometric lines, often with calibrated rubies and diamond pavé, creating a timeless graphic effect. Vintage designs favor ornate settings, floral motifs, and romantic halo settings. Mayuri offers contemporary interpretations of these classic styles, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design, with custom creation available to recreate a period aesthetic.

Rose gold requires appropriate care to preserve its characteristic coppery hue. Clean your earrings with a soft, slightly damp cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding abrasive products that could alter the natural patina. Ruby, resistant with its 9/10 Mohs hardness, withstands this cleaning without risk. For professional polishing that revives the luster of rose gold, our workshops offer an annual maintenance service.

Round faces are enhanced by elongated drops that create a slimming verticality. Oval faces, harmonious in nature, can wear anything from studs to generous hoops. For angular or square faces, favor rounded huggies or hoops that soften features. Heart-shaped faces suit medium-sized earrings perfectly, neither too bold nor too discreet, to balance proportions.

The value of a pair of rose gold ruby earrings rests on several essential criteria:

• AAA quality ruby: intense color, transparency, and optimal brilliance
• Purity of 18k rose gold: 750/1000 guarantee with ethical traceability
• Ruby origin: Thailand (excellent value) or Burma/Mozambique upon request
• Artisan setting: stone security and impeccable finish
• Certification: authenticity guarantee and traceability

Mayuri exclusively selects AAA quality rubies from ethical sources, with over 80% recycled metals.
