This solitaire engagement ring features a 1.24 carat emerald cut ruby set in 18 karat yellow gold. The ruby sits in a half bezel setting oriented east-west across the finger, creating a horizontal display of the gem's rich red color. The emerald cut gives the ruby large, rectangular facets that showcase the stone's clarity and depth of color with a hall-of-mirrors effect rather than intense sparkle.

The 2 mm wide band keeps the focus on the center stone while providing comfortable everyday wear. Made by Filigree, this modern design brings a fresh take to the classic solitaire by rotating the stone's orientation and using a protective half bezel rather than traditional prongs.
