The Ruby and Diamond Ring by Van Cleef & Arpels exemplifies the pinnacle of high jewelry craftsmanship. At its heart is the brand’s iconic invisible setting technique—an innovation that revolutionized gemstone design in the 1930s. This method involves precisely cutting and grooving each ruby so it locks into a hidden framework beneath the surface, allowing the gems to sit edge to edge without any visible prongs or metal. The result is a velvety ribbon of red that flows across the finger with unbroken intensity.
Surrounding this mesmerizing sea of rubies are brilliant-cut diamonds that enhance the ring’s radiance with icy contrast and elegant symmetry. Whether crafted in platinum or white gold, the setting remains discreet, serving to elevate the stones without distraction. This level of sophistication and detail requires a master jeweler’s touch—each stone must be cut within fractions of a millimeter to achieve the flawless alignment Van Cleef & Arpels is known for.
The ruby has long symbolized passion, power, and protection. Combined with diamonds, this ring becomes a wearable statement of elegance and strength. It speaks to collectors who appreciate design innovation and timeless beauty in equal measure.
Jewelry like this reflects not only technical brilliance but also the heritage of one of the world’s most celebrated maisons. Van Cleef & Arpels pieces are known to grace red carpets and royal collections, yet remain deeply personal to those who wear them.
