Leo - the King - Genuine 6.8 carat Ruby rhodium over .925 Sterling Silver handcrafted Statement Earrings

These Ruby earrings in sterling silver make a bold declaration. At 6.8 carats total weight, the genuine red rubies command attention with deep, saturated color and strong clarity. Part of our Polish Collection, the lion motif design earns its name: Leo, the King.

Ruby ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond. This makes these statement earrings durable enough for regular wear despite their dramatic appearance. The oval and teardrop-cut stones sit in halo settings surrounded by smaller accent stones that amplify their brilliance. Rhodium plating over .925 sterling silver provides a bright white finish that resists tarnish. Each earring measures 1 3/8 inches long, 3/8 inch wide, and 3/16 inch thick. Total weight: 8.90 grams.

Wear these for galas, formal dinners, or any occasion that calls for jewelry with presence. The abstract lion design works as a conversation piece and a zodiac nod for those born under Leo.
