Clean lines, deep color, quiet drama. This vintage ruby ring frames a rich emerald-cut lab-grown ruby in warm 14K yellow gold vermeil, channeling the geometry and glamour of the Art Deco era. The step-cut facets open a window straight into the stone, so the red reads pure and architectural — a bold, sophisticated ring with real presence.

Art Deco lines in warm gold
Where round stones sparkle, an emerald cut glows. This ring leans into that difference with clean Deco-inspired geometry and a warm gold band that makes the ruby the whole story. It is for anyone who loves the drama of a rectangular step cut and the confidence of a bold colored center — a striking alternative to the everyday diamond solitaire. Find the same spirit across our ruby engagement rings and nature-inspired engagement rings.
The lab-grown ruby
The center is a genuine lab-grown ruby — a real ruby (true corundum), identical in chemistry and hardness to a mined stone but grown in a lab for a cleaner, AAA-grade red and a far friendlier price. The emerald cut (roughly 6 x 4 mm, around 1 ct) uses long, straight step facets that reward a richly saturated stone like this, drawing the eye deep into the color. At 9 on the Mohs scale, ruby is second only to diamond and sapphire in hardness, so this is a center stone made for a lifetime of wear. Discover the gem's lore in our guide to ruby meaning.
A crisp simulated diamond accent
Bright simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia) accent the design, adding a fine line of white sparkle that sharpens the Deco geometry and lifts the ruby's red. It is an elegant, budget-friendly finishing touch. Prefer a lab-grown diamond or moissanite accent instead? Message us — most of our designs can be upgraded.
Real gold over sterling silver 925
The band is 14K yellow gold vermeil — a generous layer of real 14K gold over a solid sterling silver 925 core, at a comfortable 2 mm width. You get the deep, golden warmth of true gold, a hypoallergenic precious-metal base and a price that leaves room for the moment. Prefer gold throughout? The same design can be crafted in solid gold on request.
What ruby symbolizes
Ruby has meant passion, courage and enduring love for centuries — a fitting heart for a ring with this much backbone. Its red is the color of a heart that is all in.

Frequently asked questions
Is the ruby genuine?
Yes. It is a 100% genuine lab-grown ruby, which is a real ruby (true corundum) with the same chemistry, hardness and rich red color as a mined stone. Growing it in a lab gives an AAA-grade red at a kinder price, with conflict-free sourcing.
What is yellow gold vermeil?
Yellow gold vermeil is real 14K gold layered over sterling silver 925 — the warm, golden look you love at an easier price. If you would prefer gold all the way through, the same design is also available in solid gold.
What is an emerald cut?
It is a rectangular step cut with long, straight facets that create a clean, mirror-like window into the stone. It highlights color and clarity over sparkle, which suits a richly saturated ruby beautifully.
What are the accent stones?
Bright simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia) that add a crisp line of white sparkle around the ruby. If you would prefer a lab-grown diamond or moissanite accent, reach out and we will tailor it for you.
Is ruby tough enough for daily wear?
Yes. Ruby ranks 9 on the Mohs scale, one of the hardest gemstones after diamond, so it stands up to everyday life with only gentle care.
Can the ring be engraved?
Yes. You can add a personal engraving of up to 16 characters at checkout — a date, initials or a short message. Engraved pieces are final sale, so please double-check spelling.
Is this a good July birthday gift?
It is a perfect one. Ruby is the July birthstone, so this ring is a meaningful way to mark a July birthday, an anniversary or an engagement.
How should I care for the ring?
Remove it before showering, swimming or exercise, keep it away from lotions and fragrance, and store it dry in its velvet box between wears. A soft, dry cloth restores the shine anytime.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. The lab-grown ruby is created in a controlled environment and is inherently conflict-free, and all of our materials are ethically sourced, so you can wear it with peace of mind.
What size should I order?
Select your ring size at checkout. If you are unsure or between sizes, contact us for guidance. Resizing is available and starts from a modest fee if you need an adjustment later.
Can I have it made in solid gold?
