The straight lines of a ruby straight baguette 4X2 MM give these petite earrings a quietly graphic character, the precious gemstone prong set so its rectangular face sits square and clean at the ear. Step cutting presents the red as a single sustained plane of color, calm where a brilliant cut would sparkle. A total of 2 round cut diamonds are prong set across both earrings above the gemstones, each held open on all sides so light passes freely and the pair of accents reads bright and well defined. Worked in 10 karat yellow gold, the warm surround gives the ruby extra depth and keeps the overall tone rich. The contrast between the step-cut stone's flat calm and the diamonds movement is what gives so small a design its interest. Modest in scale and confident in line, the earrings close with a total weight of 1/20 Ctw.
