In honour of July birthstone – Ruby – we are showcasing Anouk Jewelry’s partial collection of custom designs featuring this magical stone. Rubies were favourites of royalty and noblemen of antiquity. With their deep crimson hues, these gemstones are perfect for non-traditional jewelry pieces. They add a touch of drama and sophistication, making each piece truly unique.
Ruby is July birthstone so let’s celebrate it in style!
Golden Wreath with Ruby and diamonds – custom design
The custom statement ring above features a magnificent heirloom oval ruby in a wreath of golden leaves with accent diamonds surrounding it. A truly one of a kind design, it takes inspiration from our Golden Leaves Ring. The oval ruby is truly the star of this creation, commissioned by our client!
Rubies symbolize love, passion, power, and luck. Due to its deep red colour, it is associated with the heart, both physically and emotionally. According to legend, it bestows strength and courage upon all who wear it, making it a perfect piece to wear as a talisman.
Rough Diamond White Gold Ring with Ruby
Sculpted by hand, this custom nature-inspired white gold ring features an irregular shape rough diamond. Surrounded by sculpted gold leaves, the little ruby accent shines like a dew drop, adding a touch of magic. The design above truly blends organic beauty with artisanal craftsmanship. Imagine wearing a piece of jewelry that not only sparkles with the brilliance of a ruby—the July birthstone—but also reflects the serene elegance of the natural world.
Custom Wide Gold Band with a Central Ruby and Accent Diamonds
The custom textured gold band above features a central round ruby and ten accent diamonds. This design is a great example of a family ring redesign. We love giving a second life to heirloom jewelry, offering a departure from traditional styles. Our alternative rings are hand crafted from textured gold, reminiscent of the warm sandy beach, like the Seashore band above. The texture not only adds depth to the design but also evoke a sense of connection to the earth and nature.
White Gold Engagement Ring and Wedding Band set Featuring Rubies and Sculpted Leaves
The engagement ring and wedding band set above are inspired by the Spring Leaves ring and band from our Golden Leaves collection. We really love pairing rubies with white gold – the cool metal brings forward the rich warmth of the this birthstone. And what a great way to celebrate commitment to someone born in July!
