Oval Ruby Pave Cocktail Ring

A deep pink-red oval sits high off the hand, claw-set on a band that fades from pave stone into bare silver at the base of the shoulders. The ombre effect down the shank is the detail people notice second, after the size of the center stone registers. It sits close to the knuckle when your hand is flat, which means typing is fine but a firm handshake gets a moment's pause. This is for the woman whose everyday rings are quiet and whose occasion ring is not. 925 silver, the standard international luxury brands use, skin-safe and tarnish-resistant with normal care.
