These stud ruby earrings for pierced ears secure to the reverse with a latch and post fastening.

*NOTE: Contrary to what many people may think, the word "synthetic" does not mean fake when it comes to gemstones. In order for a material to be called "synthetic" it must have a natural counterpart. A synthetic ruby will have the same chemical composition as a natural ruby and therefore have an almost identical appearance to the naked eye.

The first ruby formed by melting two smaller rubies together was in 1817, and the first microscopic crystals created from alumina in a laboratory in 1837.

Common practice was to set and enhance fine quality antique jewellery with vibrant and colourful synthetic stones.


Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.


These vintage 18 ct gold earrings are fine quality set with synthetic rubies and very well colour matched, very high colour graded old cut diamonds.

The earrings are a very good gauge of gold and are in excellent condition with clear marks to the latch fastenings.


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine example of ruby jewellery/estate jewelry.
