Delicate yet commanding, the Crimson Duchess earrings feature brilliant 5mm lab-grown rubies encircled by a fine beaded wire detail, all set in solid 14k gold. The rich crimson hue of the stones glows with vibrant sparkle, while the golden beadwork adds a touch of regal texture. These studs are lightweight and understated, making them perfect for everyday wear, yet their timeless elegance easily elevates any look for special occasions.
Lab-grown rubies are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural rubies—formed from the same mineral, corundum, with the vibrant red color resulting from trace elements of chromium. Grown in controlled environments using heat and pressure that mimic the earth’s natural processes, lab-grown gems are a sustainable, ethical alternative to mined stones. They offer exceptional beauty and durability at a more accessible price point, with a lighter environmental impact.
Rubies have long been associated with passion, vitality, and courage. They are thought to energize the heart and promote a sense of confidence and power. Paired with 14k gold, a metal revered for its ability to carry warmth and enduring strength, these earrings are a symbol of both grace and inner fire—a wearable reminder of one's sovereignty and self-worth.
