Customise this pieceRuby & Aquamarine Drops is a drop earring in 18K Yellow Gold, set with 4 stones and built around movement, and a swing that catches light at the jaw. It measures 22.0 × 7.4 mm, and weighs 4.0 g gross. It sits in the everyday fine part of the book, and is made to your specification — price and booking on request, once we understand what you want changed.
It came out of a request we could not fill from the book. Ruby sets the temperature of the piece and yellow gold follows it — chromium is what makes it red rather than pink. In this form, drops are balanced so they hang plumb rather than forward. A ruby trillion on the hook, an aquamarine cabochon swinging below. Light, and audibly so.

Cast in 18K Yellow Gold by lost wax, then filed and pre-polished before a stone goes near it. The setting on SI-008 is rub-over bezel at 22.0 × 7.4 mm. All 4 stones are seated individually against the reference tray rather than to a jig. Final polish runs on a bristle wheel at low speed to keep the edges crisp. It passes six inspection gates between wax and pouch.
Ruby & Aquamarine Drops is shown in 18K Yellow Gold — 18K, 75% fine gold, warm, and the traditional choice for yellow and green stones. The same mount can be made in white gold, rose gold, platinum or 950 palladium, quoted on the metal weight of 4.0 g rather than a flat uplift. Platinum runs roughly a third above 18K on this design because it is denser and slower to work. All gold and platinum is BIS hallmarked with the ANAGARI maker's mark.
18K Yellow Gold — 75% fine gold alloyed with silver and copper for a warm, slightly deep yellow. Struck with the BIS hallmark and the house mark.
Total carat weight is 4.80 ct, made up of ruby and aquamarine. Ruby is Mohs 9 and heat-treated, as the trade expects — chromium is what makes it red rather than pink. Colour is matched across the run under standard light, and any stone over 0.30 ct in a diamond piece ships with an independent certificate. Colour stones carry an ANAGARI identification report; IGI or GIA certification is available at cost.
Ruby — Corundum coloured by chromium. Ours are principally Burmese and Mozambican, heat-treated only.
Aquamarine — A aquamarine selected in-house for saturation and clarity, matched by eye to the metal it sits in.
Every piece is weighed and dimensioned against the approved article before it leaves the floor — 4.0 g on SI-008. Six inspection gates sit between wax and packing: wax, casting, pre-polish, setting, finish and final. Setting is checked at ten-power on all 4 stones, and nothing advances on a supervisor's word alone. Made in Jaipur under one roof, which is why a query is answered the same afternoon rather than the next month.
Ruby & Aquamarine Drops was made with birthdays, birthstones and the pleasure of colour, ordinary Tuesdays, which is the hardest test a piece faces and a wardrobe rather than an occasion in mind. Worn daily it will show its finish honestly, which is the intention. Posts are 18K with butterfly backs as standard; screw backs and clip fittings are available at no extra cost.
Ruby & Aquamarine Drops is one of the references we will rebuild to order. Straightforward changes — a different centre stone, a change of metal to white gold, carat weight up or down and a matte, satin or hammered finish in place of the polish — are specified in the customisation studio and add nothing to the lead time; booking and pricing follow once the specification is settled. Structural changes, such as taking this drop to a different architecture entirely, need a conversation and a new CAD; that runs six to eight weeks from approval. Private-label and OEM versions of this mount are quoted from one piece upward.
Ruby & Aquamarine Drops sets ruby and aquamarine together, so: ultrasonic cleaning is safe for this piece, though we would rather do it here. Between times, warm water, pH-neutral soap and a soft brush. Work from underneath; the film that kills brilliance collects behind the stone, not on it. Store separately and flat — a shared pouch is a slow-motion accident. Remove before contact sport, gardening, and whenever you apply fragrance, sunscreen or hand cream.
