Synthetic Ruby and Gold Ring

A beautiful solitaire ring featuring a glowing synthetic ruby. The gemstone has a lovely, pinkish red hue and it sparkles and reflects light beautifully. The setting of the ring is fashioned from 14 karat white gold and the gem is held in double claw prong settings at each cardinal degree (North, South, East, West.) The shoulders and gallery of the ring have delicate metalwork accents. This could make a perfect alternative engagement ring as well as a wonderful right hand, statement or cocktail ring. Ruby is also the birthstone for the month of July and represents 15th and 40th year wedding anniversaries.

What is a synthetic ruby? Synthetic gemstones are made in laboratories and share chemical, optical and physical characteristics with their natural gemstone counterparts. A synthetic ruby is a ruby - one that was made in a lab rather than grown in the earth. Mankind has been creating gemstones in labs since the late 1800s. The applications for lab grown gems range from scientific to aesthetic, most notably their use in jewelry. A lab grown gemstone represents a wonderful way to own a large, beautiful and high quality gem - for a fraction of the price of a natural one.
