The deeper story

Made With Purpose

Die-stamping, hand-formed wire, casting. The heart silhouette is achieved three different ways, and each method produces a distinctly different surface.

Myth & Meaning

Passion, protection, and vitality are three symbolic associations that ancient Hindu, Burmese, and European traditions assigned to ruby independently. Warriors wore it for invincibility, lovers exchanged it for enduring desire, and kings set it in regalia for the power it was believed to contain. The stone's chromium-driven red and fluorescent warmth translate naturally into those meanings, which may explain why so many unconnected cultures arrived at the same symbolic conclusions.

Elemental Detail

Gold content and alloy proportion are what separate the two: 18kt white gold is 75% pure gold versus 14kt's 58.3%, which produces a denser, more richly composed metal that sits heavier in the hand and carries greater intrinsic precious metal value.
