Radiant Ruby Christmas: A Festive & Romantic Gift Guide

As the festive season twinkles into view, there’s no better time to celebrate love, warmth, and a touch of luxury. Ruby jewellery from Latelita’s collection captures the magic of Christmas in every sparkling facet. These deep red gems – long symbols of passion and devotion – make perfect gifts, whether you’re treating someone special or indulging in a bit of self-gifting. Below, we highlight some of Latelita’s best ruby pieces, each one a treasure to cherish. From statement necklaces to delicate studs, there’s a ruby delight here for every festive occasion.

Make a grand entrance at any holiday soirée with the Baroness Ruby Statement Necklace. This showstopping piece drapes the neckline in a cascade of rich ruby hues and glittering accents. Crafted in 18ct gold-plated sterling silver and set with dozens of radiant lab-grown rubies, it has an opulent vintage charm. Each ruby teardrop is encircled by sparkling stones, creating a collar of crimson fire that catches the light with every move. The design is fit for royalty – truly living up to its “Baroness” name – and exudes timeless glamour and romance.

How to style: Let this necklace take centre stage by pairing it with a strapless black velvet dress or an elegant off-shoulder gown for Christmas parties. The bold red gemstones bring instant festive flair to neutral or dark winter hues. You can also layer it over a simple cashmere turtleneck in cream or charcoal to elevate a cosy fireside look. Keep other jewellery minimal – perhaps simple gold studs – to allow the Baroness necklace’s dramatic sparkle and passionate red colour to shine. It’s the ultimate statement for that special Christmas Eve dinner or New Year’s Eve ball.

For a touch of vintage-inspired sparkle, the Great Gatsby Stud Earrings (Ruby Gold) are an irresistible choice. These studs are crafted from gold-dipped sterling silver in an Art Deco design that echoes 1920s glamour. At their centre sits a striking lab-created ruby gemstone, its deep red tone symbolising love and holiday warmth. Around the ruby, geometric patterns of clear simulated diamonds fan out, reminiscent of the lavish details of the Great Gatsby era. Though petite enough for everyday wear, these earrings pack plenty of shimmer – perfect for adding a dash of old-school elegance to the festive season.

How to style: Channel the effortless chic of a bygone era by wearing these ruby studs with a beaded flapper-style dress or a sequinned top for a Christmas party. They also elevate modern outfits: try them with a silky emerald-green blouse or a little black dress to accentuate the holiday colour palette. With hair swept into a classic updo or glam waves, the Great Gatsby earrings will catch the light (and compliments) at candlelit dinners and office parties alike. Even paired with a cosy knit jumper and a bold red lip, these earrings offer a subtle yet sophisticated pop of festive colour.

A ruby twist on a classic favourite, the Duchess Ruby Tennis Bracelet is a piece you’ll want to wear well beyond the holidays. Handcrafted in sterling silver and finished in gleaming gold, this bracelet features a continuous line of fiery red lab-grown rubies interspersed with sparkling simulated diamonds. The Duchess design adds an extra note of luxury: at the centre of the bracelet lies a delicate focal cluster of ruby teardrops and diamond-like stones, creating a rich, fiery highlight on your wrist. The result is a perfect balance of timeless and dramatic – a bracelet that glitters with every gesture yet remains refined and elegant.

How to style: The beauty of a tennis bracelet is its versatility. For festive nights out, let the Duchess bracelet adorn your wrist alongside a glass of mulled wine or champagne – it gleams beautifully against a metallic cocktail dress or the sleeve of a satin blouse. On Christmas Day, wear it with a cosy red jumper or winter-white knit to add a celebratory sparkle to even the most relaxed outfit. Stack the Duchess bracelet with a few delicate gold bangles for a trendy layered look, or wear it solo as a classic statement. Either way, every glance at its ruby shimmer will remind you of the love and warmth this gemstone represents.

For the jewellery lover who adores bold, unique designs, the Marguerite Daisy Flower Cocktail Ring (Ruby Gold) is a dream gift. This ring transforms the innocent charm of a daisy into a fiery showpiece. Five petals fan out from a central stone, each petal encrusted with pavé-set ruby-red cubic zirconia that mimic the richest rubies. The petals’ deep red sparkle contrasts with the 18ct gold-plated band, creating a floral motif that is both playful and passionately bold. When worn, it covers the finger in a flourish of colour – a conversation starter and a symbol of love in full bloom.

How to style: Let this dramatic ring speak for itself by wearing it as the star accessory of your outfit. It’s perfect for a festive night out – picture it catching the light as you raise a champagne flute at a New Year’s party, or adding a pop of colour to your little red dress at a Christmas Eve gathering. Because of its statement size, it pairs best with simpler jewellery: maybe just thin gold stacking rings on your other hand, or no other rings at all. You might coordinate with matching ruby earrings, or simply keep the focus on this one stunning piece. Even with an everyday ensemble like a black roll-neck and jeans, the Marguerite ring adds a touch of festive whimsy and personal flair, reminding you to “stop and smell the roses” (or daisies) during the busy holiday season.

All of these pieces showcase the timeless beauty of rubies, a gemstone steeped in meaning and romance. Across cultures, rubies have long symbolised love, passion, and warmth – much like the glow of a cosy fire on a winter’s night. This Christmas, gifting ruby jewellery isn’t just about offering a beautiful accessory; it’s like giving a piece of your heart. The rich red hue evokes affection and courage, making a ruby jewel a heartfelt present for someone you adore. And if you’re self-gifting, a ruby piece can be a wonderful reminder to cherish yourself and embrace your own inner sparkle.

Whether it’s the regal statement necklace lighting up the room, the vintage-chic earrings adding sparkle to your smile, the elegant bracelet gracing your wrist, or the bold cocktail ring sparking conversations – Latelita’s ruby collection offers something for every festive mood. Each piece can transform a holiday outfit and carry a special meaning that lasts long after the decorations are put away. This festive season, celebrate the holidays and the bonds of love with the fiery brilliance of rubies. After all, a touch of red magic from Latelita is the perfect way to make this Christmas truly unforgettable.
