Frequently asked questions
-
Is this a real ruby?
Yes — lab-created ruby is chemically and optically identical to mined ruby. The difference is origin: lab-created means no mining, no ethical questions, and a stone selected specifically for color and clarity. You get the real thing.
-
What does the east-west setting mean?
It's a contemporary design choice that places the stone horizontally across the necklace rather than upright. Visually, it's distinctive and modern. Symbolically, it's often associated with forward momentum, resilience, and the beauty of the journey — which is why it resonates as both a personal piece and a meaningful gift.
-
Will this hold up to daily wear?
Yes. 14K gold is one of the most durable metals in fine jewelry — it resists scratches, holds its finish, and doesn't tarnish under normal wear. Sterling silver will develop a natural patina over time, which many people love. Both come with our one-year warranty.
-
How quickly will it ship?
Each piece is made to order. Orders typically ship within 5–10 business days. Need it by a specific date? Reach out before ordering and we'll do our best to accommodate.
-
Is it truly gift-ready?
Yes. Every order arrives in eco-friendly packaging — a branded box and pouch — with no additional wrapping needed. If you'd like a personal note included, just add it at checkout.
-
Can I return it?
We want you to love it. If something isn't right, contact us within 30 days of delivery and we'll make it right — exchange, store credit, or return.
More Details
There are pieces you wear, and there are pieces you carry — the ones that hold a date, a name, a feeling you never want to forget. The East West Emerald-Cut Ruby Necklace is the second kind.
Set horizontally in the east-west orientation that defines EG Jewelry's signature aesthetic, this 7x5mm lab-created ruby glows with the deep, saturated warmth of its July birthstone roots — while its contemporary silhouette makes it undeniably modern. Whether it's a gift for someone you love or a talisman for yourself, this is the piece that gets worn every day and still stops people mid-sentence.
Handmade in the USA using recycled precious metals and responsibly sourced stones. Available in 14K yellow, white, or rose gold, and sterling silver. Arrives gift-ready.

The Full Story
The east-west setting didn't happen by accident. It's a deliberate departure from the expected — a stone placed across the band rather than upright, creating a silhouette that feels like a breath of fresh air next to the conventional solitaire.
For this necklace, the orientation does something else too: it mirrors the forward momentum of the people who wear it. The ruby, historically associated with passion, courage, and life force, sits in a setting that says keep moving, keep becoming. It's the jewelry equivalent of a deep breath before something important.
The 7x5mm emerald cut was chosen specifically for its ability to make color the centerpiece. Where a round cut dazzles with sparkle, an emerald cut draws the eye into the stone itself — the depth, the richness, the near-liquid quality of a well-chosen ruby. This stone has that.
Crafted from recycled 14K gold or sterling silver, every piece is made by hand in the USA. The metals are sourced responsibly, the stones are lab-created for ethical peace of mind, and the result is a necklace that you can feel good about wearing — and giving.
This is the piece for: the July birthday you've been planning for months. The friend who just went through something hard and came out stronger. The version of yourself who deserves something real.
