The higher the concentration of chromium, the more intense and pure the red color of the ruby. Rubies can vary in terms of shades, ranging from bright red to pinkish-red, but the most valuable specimens are those with a pure red hue, often referred to as “pigeon’s blood” (like the one used to bring our exceptional piece, Le Siam, to life). In addition to their enchanting color, rubies are also valued for their exceptional hardness. With a hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale, rubies are among the hardest gemstones after diamonds. This hardness gives them high resistance, making them suitable for daily wear in jewelry.Jeweler’s wordThe white gold setting of the jewel, with its undeniable elegance, delicately frames the precious gemstones, showcasing their natural splendor. The simplicity of its design gives a sense of lightness and purity, creating a harmonious balance between boldness and subtlety. Coquette perfectly exemplifies the craftsmanship of Maison Lepage and the passion that drives us, transcending fashion and eras for a hundred years.
