Pear Rubellite with double diamond halo

Pear-shaped rubellite rings stand out because they blend tradition with a fresh, modern twist. Unlike round or oval stones, the teardrop shape draws the eye and elongates the finger. This creates a delicate yet bold statement that feels unique. The rubellite’s deep red colour has long been linked to passion, love, and courage. When you combine that symbolism with this elegant shape, you get a ring that says so much more than “just jewellery.”

At Ernesto Buono, we go one step further. We pair rich rubellite’s with a double halo of brilliant-cut diamonds. This not only highlights the rubellite’s vibrant hue but also adds breathtaking sparkle from every angle. Crafted in strong yet luxurious 18kt white gold, this setting ensures the ruby looks even more intense. So why do people love pear-shaped rubellite rings? Because they’re a confident choice. They suit anyone who wants to stand out and wear something that tells a story of style, strength, and romance all at once.

Absolutely — and you should! Rubellite’s are one of the toughest gemstones around, scoring a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Only diamonds rank higher. That means your rubellite can handle daily life without worry. The diamonds surrounding it are even harder, so they keep their sparkle no matter what.

Still, a ring like this deserves care. It’s smart to take it off when you’re lifting weights, gardening, or using strong cleaning products. Those chemicals can dull the shine of your metal or gemstones over time. At Ernesto Buono, we believe jewellery should be lived in and loved. But we also recommend popping in for a professional clean and inspection every six months. This keeps your claws secure and your stones gleaming. When treated with a bit of TLC, your rubellite ring will last for generations — becoming a family heirloom you’re proud to pass on.

Great question. We choose 18kt white gold because it balances luxury and durability. With 75% pure gold, it has that unmistakable prestige, but the alloy mix gives it enough strength for everyday wear. Plus, white gold does a fantastic job of enhancing both rubies and diamonds. Its cool tone makes the ruby’s red pop and the diamonds look even icier and brighter.

Some clients ask why not platinum. Platinum is lovely but heavier and tends to develop a soft patina. White gold stays bright with periodic rhodium plating. And with its smooth finish, it’s less prone to little dents. So for a piece that’s all about brilliance and sharp contrast, 18kt white gold is our favourite. It makes your rubellite ring look modern, clean, and simply unforgettable.

Caring for your ring is simple and doesn’t take long. First, avoid harsh chemicals. Take it off if you’re using bleach, hand sanitiser, or chlorine. Over time, those can wear down the finish of your white gold. To clean it at home, fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Let your ring soak for a couple of minutes. Then use a very soft toothbrush to gently scrub around the rubellite and diamonds, paying close attention to the claws and under the setting. Rinse it under lukewarm water and dry it with a lint-free cloth.

Want to keep it shining? Store your ring separately in a fabric-lined box. This prevents scratches from other jewellery. And remember — bringing it into Ernesto Buono for a professional check twice a year will keep it looking brand new. We’ll make sure the settings are tight and give it a deep clean that restores that showroom sparkle.

Of course! At Ernesto Buono, we love working on bespoke designs. You might want a larger centre ruby, a different diamond halo style, or even to set it in rose or yellow gold instead of white. Some clients ask us to incorporate family stones or engrave special dates inside the band. That way, your ring tells your story, not just ours.

Customising your ring is an exciting journey. It starts with a one-on-one consultation, where we’ll sketch your ideas and choose your ideal stones. From there, our master jewellers bring it to life. If you’d like to start designing something truly personal, book your appointment today. We’ll make sure your vision becomes a piece you’ll treasure forever.
