Solid 14K Yellow Gold Oval Ruby Pave Diamond Bypass Ring Size 6
This solid 14K yellow gold ring centers an oval faceted ruby held in white gold prongs at the crest of a bypass mount. Two tapered shoulders sweep past one another and cross behind the stone, each one pave set with round diamonds across its full upper surface in white gold, so the sparkle runs in two curving ribbons that meet at the center. The yellow gold edges outline each pave panel and continue around the ruby as slim polished curls, framing the stone without crowding it. The ruby sits high enough to catch light from every side and reads deep raspberry red, brightening toward vivid crimson through the crown.
The bypass layout is what gives this ring its motion. Instead of a symmetrical head with matching shoulders, the two diamond-set arms pass at different heights, so the design looks different from every angle and the ruby appears to float between them. Combining warm yellow gold for the structure with white gold for the settings is a deliberate contrast that keeps the diamonds reading bright white against the surrounding metal.
Sized 6, with a shank that tapers thin at the back for comfort while the front carries real visual weight.

Fun Facts
Ruby and sapphire are the same mineral, corundum; chromium is what turns corundum red, and only red corundum earns the name ruby.
Pave setting takes its name from the French word for paved, describing how the small stones are set close enough that the metal beneath nearly disappears.
