Ruby Ring

The ruby ring Jesse gives to Emma is symbolic of young love. The ring is small and simple. Jesse buys it while he and Emma are traveling together in Barcelona. Emma wears the ring until she has healed from Jesse's disappearance and alleged death. It is a representation of her love with Jesse, which was formed in their youth and ended abruptly after their young marriage. Removing the ring illustrates that Emma is growing and maturing.
