Frequently asked questions
-
Is this a real ruby?
Yes — lab-created ruby is chemically identical to mined ruby. The difference is origin, not quality. Lab-created means no mining, no ethical questions, and a stone selected specifically for depth of color. You get the real thing.
-
Why 10K gold rather than 14K?
10K gold contains a higher percentage of alloy metals, which makes it harder and more durable — important for a ring. For a piece meant to be worn daily, it's the more practical choice. It also makes this ring more accessible in price without compromising the craftsmanship.
-
Can this be made in a different size?
Yes. The standard size is 7, but we make to order. Add your size in the notes at checkout and we'll craft it for you.
-
How quickly will it ship?
Each piece is made to order and typically ships within 5–10 business days. Need it for a specific occasion? Reach out before ordering and we'll do our best to work with your timeline.
-
Is it returnable?
Yes — non-custom orders are returnable within 10 days of delivery. Custom sizes are final sale.
-
Is it gift-ready?
Yes. Every order arrives in eco-friendly packaging — a branded box and pouch — with no extra wrapping needed. Add a note at checkout if you'd like one included.
More Details
There is a version of bold that doesn't shout. This ring is it.
The East-West Ruby Cocktail Ring features a 12x10mm emerald-cut lab-created ruby — 8.37 carats of deep, saturated crimson — set horizontally across the finger in a design that's deliberately unexpected. The east-west orientation spreads the stone across the hand like a confidently placed signature, creating a silhouette most rings can't touch.
Handcrafted in recycled 10K yellow gold in the USA. Made for the person who has outgrown delicate and wants something that means something.

- Arrives gift-ready in eco-conscious packaging
The Full Story
The ruby has meant something for thousands of years. Historically called the "king of gems," it's been associated with passion, courage, protection, and life force across cultures from ancient India to Renaissance Europe. A ruby cocktail ring was never just an accessory — it was a declaration.
This one makes its declaration differently. Instead of the expected upright solitaire, the stone sits across the finger in the east-west orientation that has become EG Jewelry's signature. The effect is architectural — the ring reads as a deliberate design choice, not a default. Paired with the emerald cut's long, clean lines, it creates a profile that photographs beautifully and wears even better.
The lab-created ruby used here is chemically and optically identical to mined ruby. It was chosen because it delivers superior color consistency and eliminates the supply chain concerns that come with mined stones. When you pick up this ring, you're getting a stone that was made with intention, not excavated with compromise.
Crafted in recycled 10K yellow gold in the USA, this ring is part of a small-batch, made-to-order approach. Each piece is finished by hand. The result is fine jewelry that has a story, a conscience, and enough presence to fill a room.
