A story illuminated side by side: Ruby and Cornflower Blue Sapphire

Light, brilliance, and sparkle lined up. Lined up, the lights are illuminated by even more light. By lining them up, they shine even brighter than when they were alone. It feels as though they can accomplish things that wouldn't be possible alone. By lining up the different colors side by side, it feels as though a new light is being born. The colors of calmness and passion. What exactly is born when these two colors come together? Taking a passionate step forward, while also maintaining a calm state. Without passion, new discoveries are impossible. Without calmness, it's impossible to continue a step once taken. I feel that this may be the ideal state in all things. This time, I've created a piece that combines two stones in a 10K gold ring. The two different yet coexisting hues of ruby and cornflower blue sapphire were beautifully crafted. It's a unique and special piece. *Important* This ring cannot be resized after purchase, so please keep this in mind when purchasing. *Please specify your size when ordering. We can create rings in sizes 1-20 (in 0.5 size increments). Other stones can also be set, so if you're interested, please feel free to ask any questions.

Red rubies are called rubies, while other colors are called sapphires. Before modern identification techniques, there was widespread confusion between rubies and red spinel. "Sapphire" In ancient times, sapphire referred to blue stones, and in the Old Testament, lapis lazuli was called sapphire. This led to the common impression that sapphires are blue stones, but in reality, they come in a variety of colors. The corundum group is the hardest mineral group, except for diamond, and only bright red ones are called rubies, while all other colors are called sapphires. Blue sapphires are a classic and beloved color worldwide, with variations in blue occurring depending on their origin. "K10 Gold" In Japan, this material is known as 10K gold. It is an alloy of gold and other metals, with approximately 42% gold and 58% other metals such as silver and copper (18K gold is 75% gold and 25% other metals). While 18K gold is more popular in Japan, 10K gold has a whitish hue that blends well with Japanese skin tones and is suitable for casual wear. Due to the recent rise in gold prices, 10K gold has become a popular alternative to 18K gold for gold jewelry in Japan, establishing itself as a gold suitable for casual wear. Because it contains a higher proportion of other metals than 18K gold, it is said to be more prone to fading, but as long as you take care of it by polishing it occasionally, it won't be a big deal. While it's difficult to say for sure whether or not this ring will cause metal allergies, please be aware that it contains a higher proportion of other metals than 18k gold, which may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Caution Please note that any metal allergies are at your own risk.
