18k yellow gold naturally enhances the intense red colour of the ruby thanks to its warm, golden tones.

Yellow gold highlights the depth of the ruby, whereas white gold favours a more modern, luminous contrast.

Yes, all our yellow gold ruby earrings are made exclusively from 18k gold (750/1000), ensuring optimal jewellery quality. This alloy contains 75% pure gold combined with silver and copper for a warm yellow colour and ideal everyday durability. Our creations come with a hallmark certifying their authenticity.
Our AAA quality rubies are natural stones, mainly heat-treated to enhance their colour and brilliance — a standard process in jewellery-making that brings out the stone's intrinsic qualities. Untreated natural rubies are much rarer and more expensive. Mayuri can source rough natural rubies on request for an exceptional bespoke creation.
Our rubies mainly come from Thailand, renowned for its fine-quality stones. Mayuri can also source rubies on request from renowned origins such as Burma (pigeon's blood rubies), Mozambique, or Madagascar, according to your preferences and budget. Each stone is selected for its intense colour and exceptional clarity.
Ruby is a very hard stone (9/10 on the Mohs scale), ideal for everyday wear. For care:
18k gold naturally retains its shine with minimal care.
Absolutely, bespoke customisation is part of our expertise. You can choose the shape of the ruby (oval, round, cushion), the carat size, the setting style, and even add a discreet engraving. Our team will guide you in creating unique earrings that reflect your personality and perfectly match your expectations.
Our earrings are fitted with secure push-back clasps in 18k gold for studs, ensuring optimal, comfortable hold. For drop styles, we offer huggie hooks or clip systems depending on the design. Each clasp is designed to combine security, comfort, and elegance for everyday wear.
Yes, yellow gold ruby earrings make an excellent jewellery investment. Ruby is one of the four most sought-after precious stones in the world, and 18k gold retains its value over time. AAA quality rubies, especially those of intense colour and fine size, can appreciate in value over the years. It is also a timeless piece of jewellery that can be passed down from generation to generation.
For in-stock designs, shipping takes place within 24 to 48 hours, with quick delivery. Made-to-order creations require 3 to 6 weeks of artisanal craftsmanship. We offer several secure payment options (credit card, PayPal, Alma 3x or 10x, crypto), and you benefit from 30 days of free returns within France. Each pair comes with a 2-year warranty and a certificate of authenticity upon request.
Our rubies are natural, chosen for the intensity of their red rather than for perfect transparency. In vermeil, ruby reveals itself as rosé; in solid 18-carat gold, it takes on its classic deep red.
From delicate rosé to deep red, we choose each ruby for the beauty of its colour, then set it to last.
A stone you chose, a setting imagined for it. A creation that will belong to you alone.
Our bespoke service accompanies engagements, heirloom pieces and reinterpretation commissions. We work from a stone sourced for you, or from a stone you already own. Response within 48 hours, piece delivered within four to six weeks.
The questions we are asked most often about yellow gold ruby earrings: materials, care, symbolism and styling advice.
Ruby symbolizes passion, courage, and ardent love, while yellow gold evokes light, prosperity, and timelessness. Together, they form a powerful alliance celebrating vitality and life energy. Wearing yellow gold ruby earrings expresses confident femininity and a deep connection to intense emotions. As the July birthstone, ruby is also traditionally given for 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries.
Ruby quality is assessed according to several essential criteria:
At Mayuri, all our rubies are graded AAA quality, guaranteeing exceptional stones.
Pigeon's blood ruby refers to the purest and most intense shade of red, with a slight bluish tint that gives it exceptional depth. This rare color, historically associated with Burmese rubies, represents the pinnacle of quality in gemology. Its rarity and incomparable brilliance make it the most coveted stone for prestigious yellow gold ruby earrings. Mayuri can source pigeon's blood rubies on request for your bespoke creations.
Yes, ruby is particularly suited to daily wear thanks to its exceptional hardness of 9/10 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond. This durability, combined with the strength of 18k gold, makes yellow gold ruby earrings jewelry that endures through the years. Simply avoid direct impact and contact with harsh chemicals. Ruby studs are particularly practical for everyday wear.
The choice of cut depends on your style and face shape:
Mayuri offers all these cuts in our yellow gold ruby earrings collection.
The combination of ruby and diamond in yellow gold is a classic of high jewelry that enhances the intensity of red with the brilliance of diamonds. This pairing can take several forms: a central ruby surrounded by diamond pavé, a harmonious ruby-diamond alternation, or drops where the ruby is accented by diamonds. Yellow gold amplifies the natural warmth of ruby while creating an elegant contrast with the whiteness of diamonds. This style is particularly suited to festive occasions and evening wear.
Absolutely. The contrast between deep red ruby and fair complexions creates a striking and elegant effect. Yellow gold brings a luminous warmth that particularly flatters fair skin with warm or neutral undertones. For very pale skin with cool undertones, the intensity of ruby combined with yellow gold may benefit from slightly more defined makeup to visually balance the look. Modest-sized yellow gold ruby studs are an excellent option for beginning with this bold combination.
Hoops are continuous rings that pass through the lobe and close onto themselves, often adorned with rubies set along all or part of their circumference. They offer a dynamic and contemporary style. Lever-backs, on the other hand, are earrings with a hinged closure that fastens behind the lobe, with the ruby visible only from the front. They provide secure hold and optimal comfort, particularly appreciated for overnight or extended wear. Both styles are available in 18k yellow gold at Mayuri.
Yes, Mayuri offers a bespoke creation service that allows you to design vintage or Art Deco-inspired yellow gold ruby earrings. Our artisans can reproduce characteristic styles from different eras: milgrain detailing, Art Deco geometric motifs, Belle Époque scrolls, or Retro designs from the 1940s. You can choose the size and shape of the ruby, the setting type, and integrate personalized ornamental details. This approach guarantees a unique piece that combines the authenticity of vintage style with contemporary quality.
For small yellow gold ruby earrings with a discreet and refined style, choose stones 3 to 4 mm in diameter (approximately 0.15 to 0.25 carats each). These dimensions offer an elegant presence without being ostentatious, perfect for the office or everyday wear. Studs with push-back closures in this size are particularly comfortable and secure. The natural intensity of ruby ensures sufficient visibility even in small dimensions, while 18k yellow gold provides the necessary luminosity.
The alliance of ruby and yellow gold dates back to Antiquity, when Indian and Burmese civilizations considered ruby the stone of kings, always set in the purest gold. In medieval Europe, this combination symbolized divine power and sacred passion. The Renaissance and Victorian era established yellow gold ruby earrings as symbols of nobility and aristocratic femininity. Today, this timeless pairing remains among the most prized in high jewelry, embodying a luxury that is both classic and passionate.
Ruby and sapphire both belong to the corundum family and share the same exceptional hardness (9/10 Mohs). Their main difference lies in color: ruby derives its intense red from chromium, while blue sapphire owes its hue to iron and titanium. In terms of symbolism, ruby evokes passion and ardent energy, while sapphire represents wisdom and serenity. Paired with yellow gold, both create elegant combinations, but ruby offers a warmer and bolder contrast, while sapphire brings a cooler sophistication.
