Vintage Ruby and Diamond Halo Charm in 14k White Gold, Converted Earring, Circa 1970s-80s

A small halo charm in 14k white gold, with eight earth-mined rubies set around a round brilliant diamond. The rubies are eye clean and a deep red, and the diamond at the center gives the cluster its light.

This piece began as an earring from the 1970s or 80s. We added a 14k white gold bail and converted it to a charm, so a single earring gets a second life instead of sitting in a drawer.

At 11.6 mm with the bail, it's a delicate accent. Add it to a charm necklace or bracelet, or wear it alone on a fine chain for a small point of color. Ruby is the July birthstone, which makes it an easy, personal gift.
