Natural Ruby Ring in Fine Sterling Silver
A deep-red coloured Indian ruby mounted in a handcrafted sterling silver setting.
Although opaque, the ruby has been faceted, which enhances the colour and the way it reflects light.
Ruby is a red variety of the mineral corundum. Pure corundum is colourless, but various impurities within its crystal structure cause it to change colour.
Impurities of chromium are responsible for the colour of rubies. When less chromium is present, stones may have more of a pinkish hue.
This Indian ruby ring is size J.
