{"product_id":"victorian-ruby-18k-yellow-gold-earrings","title":"Victorian ruby 18k yellow gold earrings","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThese earrings pair two oval cut rubies, approximately 1.00 carat in total, with 18k yellow gold, and they have an unusual history: they were originally part of a Victorian brooch that was repurposed as earrings. The oval cut gives each ruby a soft, elongated outline that suits a small earring, and ruby's saturated red is the center of the design. Ruby is the red variety of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness, which makes it well suited to regular wear. The earrings measure 0.75 inch in length and weigh just 2.25 grams together, so they sit lightly on the ear. Because they were reworked from an earlier piece, they are best understood as a Victorian-era design given a new life rather than a purpose-made pair. Circa 1900, they suit someone who likes antique jewelry with a story, and who wants a neat pair of ruby earrings for both daytime and evening.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jack Weir \u0026 Sons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50771535003867,"sku":"39032","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/1720\/files\/39033_4254361.jpg?v=1792182874","url":"https:\/\/jackweirandsons.com\/fr\/products\/victorian-ruby-18k-yellow-gold-earrings","provider":"Jack Weir \u0026 Sons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
