Description
This ruby ring features a genuine 5mm natural ruby in deep red, its smooth surface glowing with a warm internal fire, as copper grows directly around the stone. A bold, heart-centered presence for daily wear or moments when you want something that feels alive with color. A piece you can reach for, layered with your everyday rings or worn alone as a quiet statement.
Ruby is associated with passion, vitality, and courage. Wear it when you need to feel fully alive.
Why Ruby
Ruby is a naturally occurring corundum mineral, its deep red color the result of trace chromium. One of the four precious gemstones, and the traditional July birthstone. Long associated with the heart and with vitality. It is chosen for its rich red depth, its smooth round form, and its warm, energizing presence. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Gemstone Ring Is Made
Each ruby ring is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every stone for its color depth, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process over several hours, forming the band organically. No molds, no mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade gemstone ring from this studio is one of a kind.
Sizing
Select your US ring size at checkout. Sizes 5–9 are listed as variants; need a size outside that range? Select “Custom” and enter your size (US 4–15) in the order notes. Between sizes? Size up for comfort. Electroformed rings are not adjustable after making, so sizing accuracy matters — need help? Email hello@blackbirdsagestudio.com and I’ll guide you through it.
Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Polish with a soft cloth to maintain shine (Bright finish) or let the patina deepen naturally (Antique finish).
