not sure sure if the quality of the pictures is enough but I will try. some info- pulled off from a vintage 585 marked &tested gold earring. 1.05Ct, top color,eye clean,almost loup clean. RI tested for corundum, glowing strong under LW. my first clue that it's synthetic (of course ) based on everything but maybe someone here can see things that I have missed. *pictures under dark field condenser.
Have you found anything that indicates the ruby to be natural? I certainly don's see anything.

That is extremely rare in a natural Ruby for what it is worth.
Thanks. maybe the hallmark on the piece itself can give a clue if it's a known maker,it might be worth to keep investigatin. I couldn't recognized the maker,just know that its vintage and European. inside earring there is a fish hallmark with 585, and another hallmark on the front-
The cutting style and surface features lean toward synthetic.
agree.
the earring itself from what I found, I believe was made in germany by fischlandschmuck (based on the fish mark inside) about 1940-50? they didn't use synthetic stones as far as I know, but mostly silver with amber ,with a few exceptions pieces made with gold and natural stones. anyway,the stone may have been replaced at some point,who knows...
