Vintage 14K & Ruby Ribbon Brooch
Rubies have been highly valued for centuries, largely due to their hue (red is, after all, the color of intense emotions like love and passion). Early cultures believed that rubies held the power of life itself. They can command the highest per-carat price of any colored stone. This makes the ruby one of the most important gems in the colored stone market.
This sweet brooch, made of 14 karat brushed gold, has nine bright pink flush mounted rubies grouped in each turn of the undulating ribbon, creating a little starry sparkle as you move through your day, and on into the night!
