9CT WHITE GOLD OVAL RUBY AND DIAMOND HALO RING WITH DIAMOND SPLIT SHOULDERS
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery

Let’s be honest. Life’s too short for dull accessories, and this Ruby & Diamond Ring in 9ct White Gold is definitely not here to make up the numbers.
Handcrafted to an unfair level of gorgeousness, this beauty features a .54ct oval-cut Ruby sitting pretty in a four-claw setting like the Queen she is, flanked by 49 glittering Diamonds totalling .19ct. That’s right. Forty-nine. Because we do not do subtle sparkle here—we do full drama, but classy.
She’s got that elegant split shoulder design, dripping with Diamonds (because shoulder pads are out, but Diamond-studded shoulders? Always in). Perfect for everyday wear if your everyday involves owning a manor or simply looking like you do.
It’s also the ideal alternative engagement ring—if you’re a fan of romance, Rubies, and refusing to conform.
💎 Available in UK ring sizes J–Q
Outside that range? Just drop me a message. I can make dreams happen.
Also available in Emerald. (Because I believe in gemstone democracy.)

💧 Care Tips (Or: How Not to Murder Your Jewellery)
Yes, it’s durable. No, it’s not immortal.
-
White Gold = Rhodium-plated, so please don’t wear it in the bath, the sea, or while scrubbing the loo.
-
Chlorine = the mortal enemy of sparkle.
-
Store it properly (in a soft pouch, away from anything with sharper elbows than you).
-
Avoid bleach, tantrums, and gym workouts while wearing it.
📜 Some Gemological Sass
Ruby: The original drama queen of the gem world.
Known in Sanskrit as ratnaraj—"king of precious gems"—and in Latin as rubers (obviously: “red”), the Ruby has been the stone of power, protection, and proper love since the 6th century. It’s July’s birthstone, and the anniversary stone for your 15th and 40th year of marriage—presumably to mark the years when things are finally getting interesting again.
Diamond: Comes from adamas, meaning “invincible” in Greek. Also: shiny, sparkly, and harder than your ex’s heart. The sparkle is all thanks to its adamantine lustre and high refractive index, which, frankly, I wish I could say about my under-eye concealer.
📦 Shipping: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience
Yes, I ship worldwide. Yes, I’m a one-woman jewellery operation. No, I do not employ owls (yet).
-
UK Shipping: Arrives in 5–7 business days, beautifully boxed and raring to go.
-
International Shipping: Anywhere from 5–30 business days, depending on how much customs likes to play games. Zen mindset recommended.
