Ten hand-faceted, rustic rubies wink from their 14-karat gold vermeil frame in these subtle and sophisticated earrings. Deep red rubies represent love, power, passion, and aspiration, and are said to hold an inner fire that can’t be dampened or extinguished.

Perfect with a holiday ensemble or to add a dash of romance to the everyday. July birthdays will also appreciate this birthstone jewelry, even if they don’t recognize the ancient Roman name for the month, Quintilis.
