Wow!  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.

These stones are set into a traditional basket setting, hanging from a leverback earring.  Notice the thickness of the gold in the mounting.  These are substantial, without being weighty.  I like my stones well protected, and I assume you do too!

This is a good stable setting that won't set you back a month just to get a pair.  There's no reason why this stone shouldn't last you for years, and dazzle every day of it.
