The studio pics don’t even begin to show the true beauty of this ruby, so we took it outside to model on a real-life jeweler’s hand. It’ll be hard to give it back!

• 1.13 carat round ruby, heated, otherwise unenhanced

• tapered full bezel with beaded surround

• slender reverse-tapered shank (slightly wider at the back than front)
