Diamond & Ruby Channel Set Eternity Band 14k Yellow Gold

This eternity band is made of 14 karat yellow gold, with round brilliant cut diamonds and square step cut rubies alternating all the way around the shank. Seventeen stones sit flush against the gold, adding up to .51 carats of diamond and .85 carats of ruby. The diamonds carry an F color grade, so they read close to colorless next to the yellow metal, and VS2 to SI1 clarity means any inclusions stay hidden to the naked eye. Round brilliant cutting gives each diamond a strong flash of light from nearly every angle.

The rubies bring a different kind of shine. Their square step cut creates a cleaner, more linear flash that plays off the diamonds' brightness as the two alternate down the band. Sitting low and flat against the finger, this band pairs easily with an engagement ring or wears well on its own.
