With more than a century of experience, Van Cleef & Arpels' dedicated artisans create High Jewellery designs W brimming with imagination and ingenuity. These works of art reflect unique sources of inspiration and a devout commitment to the finest gem-setting techniques to enhance stones of the finest quality.
The ruby has enjoyed pride of place within Van Cleef & Arpels' oeuvre, once featuring an enigmatic collection dedicated to the stone in 2019 with the Treasure of Rubies High Jewellery Collection comprising 60 unique pieces. The ruby has also enjoyed prominence within other beloved high jewellery collections, including the Legend of Diamonds, Romeo & Juliet, and Sous les étoiles.
A natural stone with nuanced hues that range from the softest pink to the most passionate red, the majestic ruby exudes regal grace. Only second to diamonds in mineral hardness, a ruby of brilliant quality outranks the finest diamonds in their rarity. It is a small wonder the stone is known as the King of Stones or "ratnaraj" in India, continuing to represent power, wealth, and royalty.
