The ruby sits high in six prongs at the top of the design, and below it two pointed leaf plates angle away like foliage off a stem, each holding a single diamond at its center. The metal around each diamond is bright cut into radiating lines that throw light at the same angle the stone does, so each leaf reads far brighter than one small stone would on its own. The plates read white against the yellow of the rest of the ring, which separates the diamond work cleanly from the gold. A ribbon of gold swirls across the gallery beneath the setting, curving past the stem and doubling back, and the open spaces it leaves let light through the mount from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole design is built on diagonal rather than symmetry. The ruby is offset at the top, the leaves angle down and to one side, and the swirl crosses underneath at its own angle, so nothing on the ring lines up square with anything else and the eye travels up the piece instead of stopping at the center. That is also what keeps a small stone reading as a focal point. Set dead center in a symmetrical mount a ruby this size would read as modest, but placed at the end of a rising line with the leaves pointing toward it, it becomes the destination. The openwork in the gallery does the same job from below, giving the gold somewhere to stop so the setting never reads as a solid mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing size 4. The shank tapers to a slim rounded band at the back while the design stands tall across the top of the finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerifications:\u003cbr\u003eSolid 10K gold has been verified using an Auracle Gold Analyzer.\u003cbr\u003eRuby has been verified using a Presidium Gem Tester II.\u003cbr\u003eDiamonds have been verified using a Presidium Adamas Diamond Tester, which specifically distinguishes diamonds from moissanite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003eMetal: Solid 10K Yellow Gold\u003cbr\u003eHallmark: 10K\u003cbr\u003eCenter Stone: Ruby\u003cbr\u003eCenter Stone Cut: Round Faceted\u003cbr\u003eCenter Setting: Six Prong\u003cbr\u003eAccent Stones: Diamond\u003cbr\u003eDiamond Count: 2\u003cbr\u003eAccent Setting: One Diamond per Leaf Plate with Bright Cut Surround\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Ruby and Diamond Leaf Spray with Swirl Gallery\u003cbr\u003eBand Style: Tapered Shank\u003cbr\u003eRing Size: 4\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent estate condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFun Facts:\u003cbr\u003eRuby and sapphire are the identical mineral. Both are corundum, and the only thing separating them is chromium, which turns the crystal red. Corundum in any other color on earth is called sapphire, including pink, yellow, green and colorless, so ruby is the one gemstone defined entirely by exclusion. Everything that is not red gets the other name.\u003cbr\u003eBright cutting is not engraving in the usual sense. The graver is a polished steel blade that burnishes the metal as it removes it, leaving a mirror surface in the cut rather than a scratched groove, which is why the lines flash instead of going dull. Silversmiths developed the technique in the 1700s for decorating flatware, and jewelers later turned it toward small stones, where a ring of mirrored cuts makes a single diamond carry a whole setting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53632853836141,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/8272\/0109\/files\/Solid_10K_Yellow_Gold_Ring_with_Round_Ruby_and_Two_Diamonds_Set_in_Leaf_Plates_with_Swirl_Gallery_Size_4.jpg?v=1792640677","url":"https:\/\/silverqueenstudio.com\/products\/solid-10k-yellow-gold-ruby-flower-and-diamond-leaf-swirl-ring-size-4","provider":"Silver Queen Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
