The ruby is a member of the corundum family. Together with the sapphire, it is the second hardest stone after the diamond. The stone’s intense, incandescent glow, its nuanced hues ranging from light pink to deep red, as well as its rarity, make the ruby an exceptional gem among precious stones.

The Maison selects stones that can be cut in the finest manner to highlight their remarkable essence. Van Cleef & Arpels is attentive to the beauty of their color and their profound resplendence. These characteristics bring the stone’s inner substance to life, sublimating its intrinsic charm and singular personality.
