Three Stone Ruby Ring 0.74 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a 0.74 carat oval purplish red ruby with dimensions 6.40 x 5.09 x 2.60 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant facet scheme that combines a brilliant crown aperture for controlled scintillation, with a modified pavilion layout that preserves color saturation and depth. The mixed brilliant approach on this ruby optimizes return of light across the table and crown facets, producing a lively pattern of pinpoint flashes without sacrificing the stone s inherent body color. The gem is eye clean when evaluated at normal viewing distance, indicating that internal features do not interrupt the visual presentation, and the polish has been executed to an excellent standard, leaving facet junctions sharply defined and reflective planes free of laps or polish lines. The vivid color saturation is notable for a Madagascar origin ruby of this size, and the absence of any heat or other enhancement maintains the natural crystallographic integrity and refractive characteristics that collectors and connoisseurs prize. The oval proportions are chosen to balance face up spread and color intensity, creating a strong visual presence on the finger while retaining balanced light performance across the pavilion and crown planes.

Flanking the center ruby are natural round brilliant diamonds totaling approximately 0.20 carats, most commonly configured as two side stones of roughly 0.10 carat each, graded E color for exceptional whiteness, and clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 which guarantee minimal inclusions that do not affect scintillation or structural integrity. These diamonds are selected to act as precision modifiers of the ruby s perceived hue and brilliance, their high color grade creating a crisp contrast that amplifies the ruby s purplish red tone without introducing unwanted color contamination. The diamonds are cut to modern round brilliant proportions, with facet symmetry and crown angles chosen to maximize return and scintillation, contributing crisp white light and lively contrast to the central stone s saturated red. Each diamond is hand set in a tight prong cluster that aligns girdle planes and keeps table planes parallel, ensuring uniform light interaction and minimal metal obstruction to the stones optical windows.

The mounting is executed in 18K white gold, finished to a high mirror polish to enhance the visual whiteness of the metal and to provide high contrast against the ruby s saturated color. The gallery and prong architecture show careful attention to prong thickness, claw geometry, and seat milling, resulting in secure mechanical retention while minimizing obstruction of light to the pavilion facets. The workmanship mirrors the exacting hand finishing and tight tolerances seen at leading maisons of fine jewelry, with executed symmetry, precise stone orientation, and polished internal edges that reflect the same standards of execution that collectors expect from the best houses. The assembly technique combines machine precision in the shank and ring blank with hand finalizing at the seat and head, a hybrid approach that yields both repeatable dimensional accuracy and artisanal refinement at all visible surfaces.

At The Natural Ruby Company we place provenance, material honesty, and finish quality at the forefront of every offering. This piece represents the convergence of a rare untreated Madagascar ruby, bright white diamonds of high color and clarity, and an 18K gold setting refined to jewelry house level standards. When comparing its technical finish and aesthetic coherence to well known luxury brands, the ring displays the same priorities those houses apply to proportion, optical performance, and hand finishing. It is designed for long term wear, with prong profiles that protect the stones and a durable 18K gold matrix, and it will respond well to routine professional maintenance and cleaning. For clients who value gemological integrity and exacting craftsmanship, this ring provides measurable qualities to evaluate, from precise dimensions and cut style to clarity and color grading, and represents the level of control and expertise that defines The Natural Ruby Company.
