Ruby Accent

Sometimes all you need is a little hint of ruby along with your diamonds. Certain beautifully crafted vintage rings feature very intricate and subtle ruby accents. This could be in the form of small rubies surrounding a larger diamond or, like in our Art Deco Era Monument Park ring, a thin halo of calibre cut rubies nestle between a larger triangular cut diamond and a halo of 21 single cut diamonds.

Round Ruby Halo

A halo is a classic way to incorporate a colored gem with a diamond. A single round cut diamond makes a beautiful engagement ring on its own, but surrounding it with a halo of stunning, unique, and eye-catching rubies creates a simple yet show-stopping look.

Geometric Art Deco

Art Deco is one of our favorite jewelry eras at Trumpet & Horn. Some Art Deco pieces, whether they are jewelry, art, or architecture, are instantly recognizable with bold, geometric designs. Art Deco rings can feature any type of gemstone, but we especially love the contrast of diamond and ruby engagement rings, like in our platinum Silvermine ring.

Flower Ring

Because rubies are often associated with deep, serious passion, they sometimes need a little lightening up! A flower style ring can really add a sweet touch to rubies, especially when they are paired with glittering diamonds.

Navette Shape

Navette is a classic engagement ring shape and, if set the right way, can really show off the distinction between rubies and diamonds. Navette shaped rings can come in many different styles, such as our Victorian era Prairie ring which features a natural oval cut ruby surrounded by 16 rose cut diamonds and a yellow gold setting.
