On the night of her quinceañera she will touch it without thinking. A single lab-grown ruby, deep and unhurried, in a halo of lab-grown diamonds that catches every light in the room.
 
Rose gold, because she is not a little girl any more and not yet a woman, and it is the only metal that knows the difference.
 
0.60 carats of ruby. 0.25 carats of diamond. Certified by IGI, set by hand, on a 17 inch chain that falls exactly where a photograph finds it.
 
She will wear it for the waltz, for the toast, for the pictures her mother will hang on the wall. And she will still be wearing it long after the dress is folded away.
