Two rings, one bold red heart. The Skye Kite ruby engagement ring set pairs a hand-cut kite-shaped lab-grown ruby — a genuine, deeply saturated red gem — with a slender matching band, so the crimson center appears to float between twin ribbons of warm rose gold. Crafted in 14K rose gold vermeil over sterling silver 925 and lit with simulated diamond accents, it is a modern-heirloom proposal set for anyone who wants their love story told in color.

A matched set, made to be worn together
The Skye Kite arrives as a pair — an engagement ring built around the kite-cut ruby and a complementary band that nests cleanly beside it. Worn together, the two rings frame the stone from both sides, giving the set the presence of a fully finished bridal stack straight out of the box. The geometric kite silhouette reads as architectural and contemporary rather than traditional, an easy favorite for couples browsing ruby couples rings who want something that feels designed, not default.
The engagement ring
Holds the kite-cut lab-grown ruby as the focal point, cradled in a clean rose gold vermeil setting — the statement piece of the pair.
The matching band
A slim, understated band that sits flush against the engagement ring to complete the set. Just as lovely stacked alongside a plain band from our ruby wedding bands.
The kite-cut lab-grown ruby
At the center sits a genuine lab-grown ruby — not an imitation and not a look-alike, but a real ruby. Lab-grown ruby is true corundum, chemically and optically identical to mined ruby, with the same vivid red color and the same exceptional 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. The only difference is its origin: it is created in a controlled setting rather than pulled from the earth, which means cleaner color, a kinder price, and a conscientious, conflict-free footprint. Cut into an elongated kite (roughly 7 x 10 mm, about 1.4 ct), the facets catch light in sharp, deliberate angles that concentrate the red into glowing pools. To understand why this stone has captivated jewelers for centuries, our guide to ruby meaning is a beautiful place to begin.
Simulated diamond accents
Framing the ruby, a scattering of simulated diamonds adds crisp, brilliant sparkle that makes the red center glow all the deeper. It is a bright, budget-smart way to bring classic engagement-ring shimmer to the design without competing with the star of the show. Prefer moissanite or lab-grown diamond accents instead? Message us — most of our designs can be tailored.
14K rose gold vermeil over sterling silver 925
The set is crafted in 14K rose gold vermeil over sterling silver 925 — a genuine layer of real rose gold bonded to a solid sterling silver base. The warm, copper-pink tone of rose gold sits right beside ruby-red on the color wheel, so metal and stone melt into one cohesive, romantic story rather than clashing. It is a flattering match for nearly every skin tone, and it gives the set the glow of fine rose gold at a far friendlier price.
What ruby symbolizes
For more than two thousand years ruby has been crowned the “king of gemstones,” a talisman of passion, vitality, courage and devoted love. Its color is the color of the heart, which is exactly why it carries such weight as an engagement or anniversary stone — ruby is also the traditional gift for the 15th and 40th anniversaries. If red is the shade your love speaks in, you will find kindred designs among our nature-inspired engagement rings, and our journal on red engagement rings explores the look in depth.

Frequently asked questions
Is the ruby real?
Yes. The center stone is a genuine lab-grown ruby — real corundum, chemically and optically identical to mined ruby, with the same vivid red color and the same 9 Mohs hardness. It is created in a controlled setting rather than mined, which is what makes its color so clean and its price so kind. It is a real ruby, never a simulant.
Does this come as a set?
Yes — it includes the kite-cut ruby engagement ring plus a matching band designed to nest beside it. The band can also be worn on its own as a promise or stacking ring.
What does AAA grade mean?
AAA is the top commercial quality tier for ruby, describing rich, even red color, high clarity and a precise cut. Choosing lab-grown ruby at AAA grade gives you that top-tier color story without the premium that mined AAA ruby would carry.
Why a kite cut?
The kite is an elongated, four-sided geometric cut with sharp angular edges — deliberately architectural rather than rounded. Its facets concentrate the ruby’s red into glowing pools of color, and the shape reads as modern and distinctive next to conventional round or oval solitaires.
What are the accent stones?
Simulated diamonds — bright, brilliant and budget-friendly, chosen to frame the ruby without stealing its spotlight. If you would prefer moissanite or lab-grown diamond accents, reach out and we will tailor the set for you.
What metal is the set made from?
14K rose gold vermeil over sterling silver 925 — a genuine layer of real rose gold over a solid sterling silver base, for the warm glow of fine rose gold at a friendlier price.
What is rose gold vermeil?
Rose gold vermeil is real 14K rose gold over sterling silver 925 — the look and warmth of gold at a price that is far easier to say yes to. If you would like gold all the way through, the same design is also available in solid gold.
Is ruby durable enough for daily wear?
Very. Ruby rates 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond among engagement-ring stones and in the same family as sapphire. It stands up to everyday wear beautifully, even for active hands.
Is ruby a July birthstone?
Yes. Ruby is the traditional July birthstone, which makes this set an especially meaningful gift for a July birthday, as well as the classic stone for 15th and 40th anniversaries.
Can the rings be engraved?
Yes. You can add a short personal engraving — a date, initials or a few words — on request. Engraved pieces are final sale, so please double-check spelling.
Can the set be resized?
Yes, within reason. Choose your sizes at checkout, and if the fit is not right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee. A skilled jeweler can adjust both rings while protecting the settings.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. Every stone is ethically sourced and conflict-free, and lab-grown ruby is created without mining, so you can wear the set with complete peace of mind.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Every order ships in a free luxury velvet gift box — ready for a proposal or to give as a keepsake.
