When you just gotta have red, and don't feel like coughing up the $5,000 for the real thing, these lab created rubies are just the thing. Intense, bright red -- heck, I can't get the camera to catch the color -- they glow under the camera flash. But I can tell you this, they are red, red, red -- and well cut, throwing gobs of red fire.

This Created Ruby stone is set into a simple Sterling Silver basket mounting. The stone weighs in the neighborhood of 3.3 carats, and measures 10x8mm.

Look closely at the prongs, and the rest of the setting -- we use a nice, thick structure (you don't want massive, but you don't want cheap stamped out stuff either) so that your jewelry will last and last. (Your daughter will love it when she inherits this from you.)
