We always love an antique carved half hoop especially this one featuring vibrant, gemmy rubies!

Diamond and gold mining has caused devastation in places such as Africa, wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems and communities. Choosing to go vintage, you are eliminating the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds.
