Smolder
A 1.12-carat marquise-cut lab ruby on a slim round shank — quiet, red, and deliberate. Larger than the silhouette suggests; the cut does the work the setting refuses to. On a size 3 finger, Smolder reads as the whole ring.

Care
Solid gold is durable enough for daily wear, including water exposure. For longevity, we recommend removing the ring during high-impact activity (weight training, rock climbing, manual labor) and avoiding direct contact with harsh chemicals including chlorine, bleach, and acidic cleaners. A soft-bristled brush and mild soap in warm water is sufficient for home cleaning. Complimentary cleaning, polishing, and inspection within the first year of purchase — see our Warranty & Repairs page for full coverage details.
