A little bloom of red
The Iris takes its name from the flower — the ruby sits at the center like a bud, with two accent stones opening beside it. It is a softer, more feminine take on the solitaire, where a delicate band keeps everything light while the color stays bold. Slim enough to stack with other rings yet striking on its own, it suits the romantic who wants presence without weight. If a graceful, wearable red ring is what you are after, you will find plenty to love across our ruby engagement rings collection.
The genuine lab-grown ruby
The center is a real ruby — a lab-grown ruby is genuine corundum, the same mineral as a mined ruby, grown in a controlled environment rather than the earth. It carries the identical vivid red and the identical hardness, at a fraction of a mined stone’s cost. This richly colored 6 x 8 mm oval is prized for its brilliance and its old symbolism of love and vitality. To go deeper on the gem’s meaning, our guide to ruby meaning is a lovely read, and if July is the birthday in question, our July birthstone guide is worth a look.
Bright simulated diamond accents
On either side of the ruby, a pair of simulated diamonds adds just the right flash of white sparkle, making the red at the center glow all the deeper. They are a bright, budget-friendly way to bring classic engagement-ring shimmer to a dainty design. Prefer a lab-grown diamond or moissanite accent instead? Message us — most of our designs can be tailored.
Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish
The band is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with a layer of rhodium — the same precious metal used on fine white-gold jewelry. That rhodium finish gives the ring a bright, mirror-white luster and adds a protective shield that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, keeping the silver looking freshly polished. High-polished and lightweight, it is a band made for real, everyday wear.
What a ruby symbolizes
The ruby has always stood for love, strength and vitality — a warmer, more personal statement than a colorless stone. That is why colored engagement rings are so sought-after right now; our red engagement rings guide unpacks the appeal. Beyond a proposal, the Iris is a heartfelt anniversary, birthday or Valentine’s gift she can wear daily — and it coordinates easily with pieces from our wider ruby jewelry range.

Sizing & care
Choose your size at checkout. If you are between sizes or unsure, we are happy to help — and if the fit is not quite right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee.

A soft, dry cloth restores the shine. With the ruby’s Mohs 9 hardness, this is a ring made to be worn every day. Matching bands are available separately — explore our ruby couples rings to complete the look.
Frequently asked questions
Is the ruby a real ruby?
Yes. It is a genuine lab-grown ruby, which is real corundum — chemically and physically identical to a mined ruby, simply grown in a controlled setting. It shows the same vivid red color and the same hardness.
Is a lab-grown ruby the same as natural?
In every way that matters for beauty and durability, yes. It shares the exact mineral makeup of a mined ruby but is created responsibly in a lab, which keeps it more affordable and consistently vivid in color.
What are the accent stones?
Bright simulated diamonds set on either side of the ruby. They add a crisp white sparkle that makes the red glow even deeper. If you would prefer lab-grown diamond or moissanite accents, reach out and we will tailor it for you.
How big is the center stone?
The oval ruby measures 6 x 8 mm, a beautifully balanced size that reads bold in color yet stays dainty and stackable on the finger.
How durable is the ruby for daily wear?
Ruby ranks 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond among gemstones. That makes it exceptionally scratch-resistant and ideal for a ring worn every day.
Can I stack it with other rings?
Yes. The slim 1.7 mm band is designed to stack effortlessly with wedding or anniversary bands, or to wear beautifully on its own as a promise ring.
What metal is it made from?
Solid 925 sterling silver, finished with rhodium for a bright white luster and extra protection against tarnish and scratches.
What does the rhodium finish do?
Rhodium is the same precious metal used to finish fine white gold. It gives the silver a mirror-bright, white-gold-like shine and adds a protective layer that helps the ring stay looking freshly polished.
Will my sterling silver ring turn my finger green?
No. Our solid 925 sterling silver with its rhodium finish is designed to resist tarnish and is comfortable for everyday wear.
Is the ruby the July birthstone?
Yes. Ruby is the birthstone for July, which makes this ring an especially meaningful gift for a summer birthday, anniversary or proposal.
Are matching bands available?
Yes, matching bands are sold separately so you can build a stacked look. Browse our ruby couples rings to find a companion band.
What size should I order?
Select your ring size at checkout. If you are unsure or between sizes, contact us for guidance. Resizing is available and starts from a modest fee.
