Three Stone Purplish Red Ruby Ring 1.16 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

The centerpiece of this ring is a transparent, emerald cut purplish red ruby weighing 1.16 carats, with precise dimensions of 6.51 x 5.19 x 3.45 millimeters, originating from Madagascar. The stone exhibits intense color saturation and an excellent polish, evaluated as slightly included at eye level, characteristics that preserve a vivid, deep hue while maintaining significant transparency. Flanking the central ruby are two white, emerald cut lab grown diamonds with a combined weight of approximately 0.40 carats, clarity graded Very Slightly Included, ranges VS1 to VS2, and a color grade of F, each cut to complement the step facets of the ruby. The entire composition is set in 10K yellow gold, providing a warm metallic contrast that enhances the ruby’s purplish red tone while maintaining a clean, refined presentation. The Natural Ruby Company stamp denotes the provenance and attention to gemstone sourcing and grading evident in this piece.

The setting architecture is deliberately engineered to maximize light interaction and visual coherence between the stones, the ring features a four-prong cradle for the emerald cut ruby that secures the gem while exposing its table and step facets to direct light, the prongs are positioned to follow the stone’s pavilion angles, minimizing obstruction and emphasizing the ruby’s color depth. Each side diamond is set in a prong configuration aligned to the center axis, creating a continuous linear profile that echoes the emerald cut geometry and reinforces a balanced silhouette. The ring’s under-gallery is open, allowing light to pass through the pavilion and under the gemstones, which enhances the step-cut brilliance and reveals the ruby’s internal depth from multiple viewing angles. The shank tapers subtly toward the setting and is fully polished, the slim shoulders maintain proportional support without competing visually with the stones, and the overall construction prioritizes structural integrity and optical performance. The combination of step-cut stones, strategic prong placement, open under-gallery, and warm 10K yellow gold results in a ring that presents the ruby with heightened color intensity and refined symmetry, a design approach consistent with the standards of The Natural Ruby Company.
