"Marquee" Ring with Raw Ruby Cabochon Between Rows of Faceted Rubies in 18K Gold

About the Item

This delicious ring by Eytan Brandes was actually completed back in 2019, but it was originally set with an opaque green stone. We liked the way it looked, but the stone was problematic since we weren't sure if it was green agate, jadeite or nephrite and once it was set, we couldn't test it (oops). After a lot of backy forthy, Eytan decided it was too weird to be listing a ring with an unidentified "green stone," so he popped it out* and decided it would be fun to contrast the top quality, sparkling pink rubies with their cousin from the wrong side of the tracks: a rough ruby. This kind of ruby is completely natural and completely loaded with every flaw under the sun: silk, uneven color, spider veins, milky streaks, fissures, fractures, you name it. We love rough rubies (and rough sapphires too). Yes, they can be hard to cut (our gemcutter does NOT love them) because you have to find enough material that isn't threatened by internal fractures, but once they're successfully cut into cabochons, they polish up beautifully and, like all rubies, they are reliably durable. Even though they're effectively opaque (because they're so chock full o'flaws), they have a lustrous depth and character that you just won't find with either naturally opaque OR transparent stones. So, having said all that, we reintroduce the Marquee Ring, now featuring a 3 carat cabochon of polished rough ruby. The stone is set with wide prongs over a tidy backhole. The twelve faceted, pavé-set rubies below and above the oval cabochon center are bright vivid pink. While they have probably been heated (most rubies are), they are not filled or otherwise treated. The total weight of the rubies is 0.18 carats. The ring's face is 16mm wide and 12mm tall. The band is 3mm wide and 1.1mm thick in the back. The ring weighs 8.8 grams and the 18 karat gold weight is 8.2 grams. Currently a size 7.25, resizing is complimentary for full-price buyers and negotiable otherwise. * Fun follow-up fact: turned out the green stone was jadeite. Hopefully someone will remember this when Eytan plucks it out of the gem bucket fifteen years from now...

"Shield" Modern Power Ring in White Gold with Ruby & Diamonds
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
The face of this bold, modern ring started off in life as a cufflink,* probably made in the early 1970s. Originally set with a not-aging-very-well black star sapphire, Eytan replaced it with a nice 1.02 carat natural ruby cabochon. The diamonds are original -- clean little full cut brilliants, earth-mined and untreated, weighing approximately 0.03 carats each. The wide split shoulders flare out a bit at the sides to form a carinated single shank that tapers to a width of 4mm at the back. Currently a size 7, Eytan will resize at no additional charge for full-price buyers. All metal is 14 karat white gold. This ring weighs 12.4 grams. * We made this cuff link's mate into a slider pendant -- reset with a nice sapphire -- which is also listed on Dibs. Copy and paste...
