Fire and light, side by side. This ruby and Australian opal ring pairs a pear-cut genuine lab-grown ruby with a natural Australian opal in a vintage-meets-minimalist, three-stone Art Deco design. Crafted in 14K rose gold vermeil over sterling silver 925, the deep red of the ruby beside the shifting play-of-color in the opal makes a piece as symbolic as it is striking — past, present and future, held in warm rose gold.

A three-stone story in rose gold
The three-stone arrangement is one of the most meaningful in fine jewelry, traditionally read as past, present and future — a natural symbol for a shared journey. Here the Art Deco band lends it history and structure, while the pairing of a fiery ruby with a luminous opal keeps it soft and romantic. It is a distinctive, memorable choice for a non-traditional engagement or promise ring, and it sits beautifully among our wider ruby engagement rings and ruby jewelry collections.
The genuine lab-grown ruby
The pear-cut center is a genuine lab-grown ruby — real corundum, the same mineral as mined ruby, with the same fiery red chemistry and a Mohs hardness of 9. That hardness, second only to diamond, makes ruby a wonderfully resilient stone for everyday wear. Grown in a controlled setting rather than mined, it is fully traceable and conflict-free. To explore the stone's rich symbolism, see our ruby meaning guide, and our garnet vs ruby comparison places it among the red gems.
The natural Australian opal
Beside the ruby glows a natural Australian opal, prized for its shifting play-of-color — flashes of blue, green and fire that move as the light and your hand shift. No two opals are ever alike, so this stone is one of a kind, its pattern shared with the photographs but unique in its detail. Opal is a softer stone (around 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale), so it rewards a little extra care, which keeps its color play luminous for years.
Warm 14K rose gold vermeil
The ring is 14K rose gold vermeil over sterling silver 925 — a solid sterling silver core wrapped in real 14K rose gold. The warm, blush tone unites the fiery ruby and the soft opal into one romantic palette, and the slim Art Deco band keeps the look elegant and wearable. Discover the same warm colorway across our ruby couples rings collection.
What ruby and opal symbolize
Ruby has long stood for love, passion, vitality and courage — the "king of gems" and the July birthstone. Opal is associated with creativity, inspiration and emotional balance. Together they make a layered, personal emblem for a relationship. For more on the red stone, see our July birthstone guide and our red engagement rings guide.

Frequently asked questions
Is the ruby a real ruby?
Yes. The center is a genuine lab-grown ruby — real corundum, the same mineral as mined ruby, with the same chemistry, color and a Mohs hardness of 9. It is a true ruby, simply grown in a controlled setting rather than mined.
Is the opal a natural stone?
Yes. The second stone is a natural Australian opal, prized for its shifting play-of-color. Because opals form in nature, each one is unique, so yours will share the character of our photos with its own individual pattern.
What is rose gold vermeil?
Rose gold vermeil is real 14K rose gold bonded over a solid sterling silver 925 core. You get the warm, golden look of rose gold at an easier price. If you would prefer gold all the way through, the same design is also available in solid gold.
What does the three-stone design mean?
The three-stone arrangement is traditionally read as past, present and future — a natural symbol for a shared journey, which makes it a meaningful choice for an engagement or anniversary ring.
How durable is ruby for daily wear?
Very. Ruby sits at 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, so the center stone is exceptionally hard-wearing. The opal is softer, so a little extra care keeps the whole ring looking its best.
How do I care for the opal?
Opal is softer than ruby, so avoid knocks and harsh chemicals. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth rather than soaking, remove the ring before showering or swimming, and store it in its velvet box. Gentle care keeps the color play luminous.
Can it be worn as an engagement or promise ring?
Absolutely. The three-stone Art Deco design makes a distinctive, memorable non-traditional engagement or promise ring, and it doubles as a beautiful anniversary or birthday gift.
Will the sterling silver turn my finger green?
No. Genuine 925 sterling silver does not turn skin green, and here it sits beneath the rose gold layer anyway. The ring is nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
Will my opal look exactly like the photos?
It will share the same lovely play-of-color, but the exact pattern is one of a kind — a hallmark of natural opal. No two are ever identical, so yours is truly unique.
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.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. The lab-grown ruby requires no mining and is fully traceable, and the opal and any accents are ethically sourced, so you can wear the ring with complete peace of mind.
How do I care for it day to day?
Remove it before showering, swimming or exercise, avoid contact with lotions and fragrance, and store it dry in its velvet box between wears. A soft, dry cloth restores the shine.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Yes. Every order ships in a free luxury velvet gift box and is backed by our lifetime warranty — ready for a proposal or to give as a keepsake.
