The colour of these rubies isn't the deep, dark red you might expect. They're a bright, almost electric fuchsia. It's a really lively colour that stands out, even on a small 3mm stone. They're just pure, concentrated colour for your ear.

You're looking at a pair of stud earrings. Each one has a round, 3mm ruby held in a simple four-prong basket setting made of polished 18k gold. The prongs are small and rounded, just enough to secure the stone without hiding it. The post is a standard 6mm length. The rubies themselves are faceted, so they catch and throw light as you move your head.

These are made from solid 18k gold, not plated. That's 75% pure gold alloyed for strength, which gives it a richer, deeper yellow colour than 14k. This high gold content also makes it a great choice for sensitive skin as it's very hypoallergenic. The stones are natural rubies, which means each one has its own unique internal character and colour variation. They’re not mass-produced synthetics; they're cut from actual stone.

People choose these when they want a classic stud but with more colour than a diamond. The 3mm size is small enough to live in a second or third piercing, or to serve as a really discreet, everyday stud in your main lobe. It’s a simple, well-made bit of colour.
