Pave Ruby Ring 2.01 Ct., Platinum 950

Across centuries and continents the ruby has been cherished as a symbol of passion, strength, and enduring grace, and this ring from The Natural Ruby Company is a modern expression of that ancient legacy, designed for those who value tradition and refinement. At its heart sits a transparent 2.01 carat pear shape ruby, with precise dimensions of 8.54 by 6.91 by 4.99 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant style that balances classic form with scintillating fire. This gem presents a vivid pinkish red hue that recalls the regal tones prized by emperors and artisans of old, and it carries a clarity grade described as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, a testament to the rarity of such unaltered clarity in a natural stone of this size. The polish is excellent, allowing light to travel through the pavilion and crown with remarkable ease, enhancing depth and brilliance. Importantly this ruby is free from enhancement, and its origin in Mozambique connects the piece to one of the most esteemed modern sources for fine rubies, a provenance that adds both character and confidence to the wearer.

Complementing the central ruby, the ring is adorned with white round natural diamonds that trace the halo and band, together weighing approximately 0.27 carats in one grouping and approximately 0.40 carats in another, with a clarity grading of VS and a color grading spanning F and G. These diamonds are chosen for their crisp white presence and their ability to amplify the ruby without overshadowing it, each stone set with careful attention to symmetry and light performance. The 14K white gold mounting provides a luminous and durable canvas, its cool tone offering a timeless contrast to the warm pinkish red of the center gem, while the precise workmanship ensures comfort for daily wear and a secure embrace for the stones. The design channels classical motifs, the pear shape evoking both teardrop and flame, a form that has been favored in historic rings and pendants for its elegant elongation and face up presence, making this ring an ideal heirloom that bridges past and present.

Beyond aesthetics the provenance and ethical dimensions of this piece are central to its story, reflecting The Natural Ruby Companys commitment to responsible sourcing and enduring value. The ruby was sourced from Mozambique under rigorous standards for ethical mining, practices that prioritize traceability, environmental stewardship, and the wellbeing of mining communities. Partners on the ground adhere to fair labor practices, invest in local infrastructure and education, and implement measures to reduce environmental impact, ensuring that the sparkle of this stone carries with it respect for people and place. The absence of enhancements speaks to a philosophy of authenticity, allowing the natural beauty of the gem to speak for itself, and the careful selection of accompanying diamonds follows the same ethical approach. When you choose this ring you are not only acquiring an object of beauty, you are embracing a piece with a clear chain of custody and a story of conscientious creation, a piece meant to be worn, admired, and passed down through generations as a testament to enduring taste and principled luxury.
