Our rubies are sourced directly from artisanal miners in Tanzania and hand-cut and polished by our own team. We do not use heat-treated rubies, so the color of each stone is entirely natural, exactly as it came from the earth.
We hold our rubies to exceptionally high standards when sourcing, selecting only stones with incredible natural color and natural character.
This piece was created with recycled 18k yellow gold, our preferred gold alloy for its rich, warm color and beautiful density. 18k gold has a depth and warmth that we love, while still offering the strength and durability needed for everyday wear.
It’s a material chosen to be worn, lived in, and passed down for generations.

How It's Made
The cast in wood process is a method of forging 18k gold in hand carved wooden boxes. It is an old technique, used by the Ancient Romans, and has not been seen for a thousand years or more. At Rigby Leigh, we have re-developed this technique and are the only ones in the world working this way.
This technique leaves the ring with the shape and finish of the natural wood grain, for a uniquely organic look. It also means each piece is unique and un-repeatable. No two pieces ever can look the same, because it is all down to the natural grain.
Each piece is then presented in a handmade wood box, made out of the wooden crucible it was cast in. This box beautifully preserves the moment in nature captured in your piece, a beautiful keepsake or an unforgettable presentation piece.
