Modern Ruby & Diamond Ring – Commission Story

A customer commissioned me to create this contemporary ruby and diamond ring in yellow gold. We sourced several rubies for her to choose the stone she truly felt drawn to. Experiencing loose gemstones and being part of the creative process is magical — a perfect example of how modern ruby rings can be both personal and bespoke.

Design Inspiration and Modern Ring Concepts

This ring blends contemporary design with timeless craftsmanship. By combining ruby with diamond accents, it illustrates how modern ring designs can be unique, meaningful, and visually striking. Every piece is designed by Christine Sadler and crafted in the UK, reflecting a dedication to quality and artistry.

Why Ruby Works in Modern Ring Designs

Ruby is a gemstone that brings warmth, colour, and emotion to any modern ring. In this commission, the ruby’s rich hue perfectly complemented the yellow gold band and diamond accents, creating a piece that is both contemporary and timeless. This approach shows how bespoke designs can turn modern ring concepts into personalized jewellery stories.

Bringing Bespoke Rings to Life

From selecting gemstones to final craftsmanship, each commission is an opportunity to create a truly one-of-a-kind ring. Modern diamond and ruby rings are not just jewellery — they are personal statements that reflect the wearer’s story, taste, and vision.

The History and Symbolism of Ruby

Ruby has had a special place in the history of gemstones for centuries. Early cultures treasured rubies for their similarity to the redness of the blood that flowed through their veins, and believed that rubies held the power of life. People in India believed that rubies enabled their owners to live in peace with their enemies. In contemporary culture, it is still associated with wealth, power and success and there's no coincidence that it is the ruby slippers that take Dorothy home to all that she loves. 

Why This Ruby Ring Design Is Special

This asymmetric ring design balances harmony and elegance, with yellow gold enhancing the warmth of the ruby. It’s an example of a contemporary ruby and diamond ring that brings together modern design principles and timeless craftsmanship.
