14K Yellow Gold Purple Jade & Natural Ruby Ring | 0.50ct Est

One of a Kind

This is a single, unrepeatable piece. The combination of this particular jade — with its specific tone, translucency and scale — alongside this setting cannot be replicated. Once it leaves, it is gone.

What makes purple jade different from green jade?

Green jade — particularly the vivid imperial green — is the stone most people picture when they think of jade. Purple jade is considerably rarer and tonally distinct: its lavender colouring comes from different mineral inclusions within the jadeite structure, giving it a cooler, more ethereal quality. In symbolic terms, purple jade is associated with wisdom, spiritual awareness and inner calm — qualities that differ from the prosperity and vitality symbolism more commonly associated with green jade. A purple jade of this size and quality is an uncommon find. Explore our full fine jewellery collection for other individually sourced gemstone pieces.

Why rubies alongside jade — what does the combination mean?

The pairing of jade and ruby has deep roots in East Asian jewellery traditions, where contrasting gemstones were used deliberately to express complementary forces — the stillness of jade balanced against the fire of ruby, calm paired with courage, wisdom met with vitality. Here, the warm crimson of the rubies against the cool lavender of the jade creates a chromatic dialogue that is visually striking and symbolically coherent. It is a combination with intention, not simply decoration.

Is the jade natural and untreated?

The jade is natural. No treatment claims beyond what visual inspection confirms are made in this listing, as formal gemological certification for the stone is not available. Buyers who require certified treatment documentation should seek independent gemological assessment prior to purchase. The rubies are natural; no treatment claims are made for them either beyond their natural status.

What is the open gallery setting and how does it affect the ring?

An open gallery means the space beneath the gemstone is not enclosed by solid metal but instead opens into the curved shoulder frames visible from the side. This gives the ring its architectural lightness despite its 7.00 gram weight — the eye reads the negative space as part of the design, and the ruby clusters become visible from the side as well as from above. It also allows light to reach the underside of the jade cabochon, contributing to its glow. The trade-off is that an open gallery requires periodic inspection of the claw settings to ensure they remain secure over time.

Why is only one available?

JewelHub sources fine jewellery as individual pieces. This ring — this particular jade, in this particular setting, with these rubies — exists once. It will not be reordered, remade or restocked. The person who chooses it will be its sole owner, which for a ring of this character and rarity is entirely fitting.

How do I care for a jade and ruby ring?

Clean with a soft damp cloth only — no ultrasonic cleaning, no steam and no chemical solutions. Both jade and ruby can be sensitive to prolonged exposure to perfumes, oils and cleaning products. The four-claw jade setting should be inspected periodically by a professional jeweller to confirm the claws remain secure. Store separately from harder stones to prevent surface contact. The 14K yellow gold requires no replating. For a full gemstone care guide, visit our jewellery care guide.
