About the Item
This delicious ring by Eytan Brandes was actually completed back in 2019, but it was originally set with an opaque green stone. We liked the way it looked, but the stone was problematic since we weren't sure if it was green agate, jadeite or nephrite and once it was set, we couldn't test it (oops). After a lot of backy forthy, Eytan decided it was too weird to be listing a ring with an unidentified "green stone," so he popped it out* and decided it would be fun to contrast the top quality, sparkling pink rubies with their cousin from the wrong side of the tracks: a rough ruby.
This kind of ruby is completely natural and completely loaded with every flaw under the sun: silk, uneven color, spider veins, milky streaks, fissures, fractures, you name it.
We love rough rubies (and rough sapphires too). Yes, they can be hard to cut (our gemcutter does NOT love them) because you have to find enough material that isn't threatened by internal fractures, but once they're successfully cut into cabochons, they polish up beautifully and, like all rubies, they are reliably durable. Even though they're effectively opaque (because they're so chock full o'flaws), they have a lustrous depth and character that you just won't find with either naturally opaque OR transparent stones.
So, having said all that, we reintroduce the Marquee Ring, now featuring a 3 carat cabochon of polished rough ruby. The stone is set with wide prongs over a tidy backhole.
The twelve faceted, pavé-set rubies below and above the oval cabochon center are bright vivid pink. While they have probably been heated (most rubies are), they are not filled or otherwise treated. The total weight of the rubies is 0.18 carats.
The ring's face is 16mm wide and 12mm tall. The band is 3mm wide and 1.1mm thick in the back. The ring weighs 8.8 grams and the 18 karat gold weight is 8.2 grams.
Currently a size 7.25, resizing is complimentary for full-price buyers and negotiable otherwise.
* Fun follow-up fact: turned out the green stone was jadeite. Hopefully someone will remember this when Eytan plucks it out of the gem bucket fifteen years from now...

"Skinny Twist" Stacker Set: Rhodolite Solitaire w Diamonds + Two 18K Gold Bands
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Story time!
Eytan Brandes was asked to make an engagement ring with a bulgy band and a setting for a nice two carat diamond. When the ring came back from the caster, the band was about half as thick as the band he'd designed. This kind of thing happens occasionally; usually the undersized, or oversized, or upside-down, or backwards, or misspelled, or otherwise misbegotten bauble just goes into the melting pot and we all move on.
In this case, however, Eytan liked the ring's frankly unbalanced look -- its giant center basket hovering over the whisper-thin band. It doesn't work as an engagement ring, but it makes for a cool solitaire. He therefore set the band with ten itty-bitty diamonds and, for the center, he set a delicious, richly hued rhodolite garnet.
The diamonds are natural (earth-mined), untreated little brightlings -- G-H color and VS1-2 clarity. They're full-cut and set in little raised pits spaced evenly across the front half of the ring; discreet prongs hold the stones in place.
The stone basket in the center of the ring is cleverly formed by the four triple prongs that reach up from the bottom of the basket to grab the four corners of the center stone -- a gorgeous rhodolite garnet in deep red with chocolatey undertones and flashes of pink. It's nicely cut with a huge table and a modified Swiss-cut pavilion.
We like the way the ring looks on its own, but we also like it beefed up a bit, so we're including two twisty bands that stack nicely with the garnet -- giving the wearer either option. Eytan made these bands ages ago; they were just sitting in the safe until The Boss realized they'd make a great set with his garnet ring.
And they lived happily ever after!
