9CT GOLD ROUND & PEAR CUT RUBY DROP EARRINGS

This pair of two-tier genuine Ruby earrings would be a nice reward for yourself or a great gift. Each one has two tiers of natural stones: a small 4mm round Ruby, and a larger 6x4mm pear cut Ruby dangling beneath. Set in 9ct Yellow Gold, the stones are claw set into a 'basket', an open setting that allows light in behind the stones, to show off their fabulous colours to the maximum.

These amazing drops of loveliness are also available with Emerald and Sapphire gemstones.

Total length approx. 12mm

Rubies have a hardness of 9.0 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Gemologists use needle inclusions found in natural rubies to distinguish them from synthetics, simulants, or substitutes. These days, almost all rubies are treated in some form, with heat treatment being the most common practice. Some rubies show a three-point or six-point asterism or "star". Asterisms are best visible with a single-light source and move across the stone as the light moves or the stone is rotated. This is one example where inclusions increase the value of a gemstone. Ruby is the birthstone for July and is also the anniversary gemstone for both the 15th and 40th years of marriage.

Shipping: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience

Alright, my fellow sparkle enthusiasts, let's talk dispatch and delivery. Picture this: I’m a one-woman powerhouse, working tirelessly to bring you the finest jewellery. I aim to dispatch your glittering goodies the same day (because I'm just that efficient). But here's the kicker—being a boutique operation, my stock is as limited as my patience for non-sparkly things. Most of my treasures are shipped from my legion of talented smiths and suppliers to me on order.

UK Domestic Shipping: Fast but Fashionably Late

For my lovely UK-based customers, your sparkles will typically waltz their way to you in about 5-7 business days. Quick, but not quite instant gratification. I’m not Amazon! Think of it as joyous anticipation before the big reveal!

International Shipping: The Waiting Game

For my fabulous international friends, I need you to channel your inner zen master. Shipping times can vary wildly, anywhere from 5 to 30 business days. Why? Because customs clearance is a thing. Patience, darling. Good things (and sparkly ones) come to those who wait.

Out of Stock? Not Out of Luck!

If the piece you’ve fallen in love with is out of stock, don’t fret! It’s available for order with a lead time of 4-10 weeks, depending on which of my brilliant suppliers is crafting your new favourite accessory. Just drop me a line about your heart's desire, and I’ll do my absolute best to meet your needs.

So, there you have it. Whether you’re waiting a few days or a few weeks, remember: great things (and truly fabulous jewellery) take time. Now, who’s ready to add a bit of sparkle to their life?
