A Victorian-inspired silhouette
Victoria draws on the ornate romance of antique jewelry — a carefully worked band and gallery that cradle the ruby like a treasured keepsake. It is a ring for anyone who prefers character to convention, and who loves the warmth of gold against a bold colored stone. If you are drawn to gemstone centers over the usual diamond solitaire, you will find kindred designs 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, grown in a lab for a cleaner, more even red and a far friendlier price. Cut as an oval (roughly 7 x 5 mm, around 0.75 ct), it stretches gracefully along the finger and glows a deep, romantic red. At 9 on the Mohs scale, ruby sits just below diamond in hardness, so Victoria is genuinely built for everyday wear. Explore the gem further across our ruby jewelry, and read its history in our guide to ruby meaning.
A crisp simulated diamond accent
Bright simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia) frame the ruby with a scatter of white sparkle, lifting the red and adding that classic vintage-ring shimmer without the classic vintage-ring price. It is a smart, elegant finish. 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. You get the deep, golden warmth of true gold and a hypoallergenic precious-metal base, at 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 long been the stone of passion, courage and devoted love — a fitting heart for a vintage-style ring meant to be treasured. Its red has signaled deep commitment for centuries. See why the hue endures in our guide to red engagement rings, and how ruby compares to its warm cousin in our garnet vs ruby feature.

Frequently asked questions
Is the ruby genuine?
Yes. It is a 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 simply gives cleaner color, a kinder price and 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 are the accent stones?
Bright simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia) that add a crisp 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 wears beautifully day to day with only gentle care.
What cut and size is the ruby?
It is an oval, roughly 7 x 5 mm and about 0.75 carats, set to elongate the finger and show off the deep red color to its best advantage.
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 birthstone for July, so this ring is a meaningful way to mark a July birthday, an anniversary or a milestone.
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?
Yes. The same Victoria design can be crafted in solid gold if you would like gold all the way through. Reach out and we will prepare a quote.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Every order ships in a free luxury velvet gift box and is backed by our lifetime warranty — ready for a proposal, a birthday or to give as a keepsake.
