The Ruby Diamond Ring is bold, refined, and full of meaning. This pre-owned James Allen ring is set in solid 14K gold with an open double-bar design, featuring a vivid 0.22 carat ruby and 0.14 carats of natural diamonds. It's in excellent, like-new condition and ready to wear.

It's a size 7, and it's part of our estate collection of one-of-a-kind rings, so only one is available.

An Open Double-Bar Design

Two slim gold bars frame the ruby and diamonds, leaving a sliver of open space between them. That negative space makes the ring feel modern and light on the finger, while the deep red ruby and bright diamonds give it a classic, polished finish.

Why a Ruby and Diamond Ring

Ruby is one of the hardest gemstones, rating 9 on the Mohs scale, just below diamond, so it holds up beautifully to everyday wear. Paired with diamonds, its rich red color looks even more vivid. Rubies have long been associated with love, passion, and royalty, often called the stone of kings and queens.

We believe that beautiful jewelry should also be responsibly made. That’s why every piece we create is crafted with a deep commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.

Ethically Sourced Precious Metals
All of our 14k gold and sterling silver comes exclusively from refiners on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) list.
