Antique Style Ruby Ring 3.24 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring begins its story deep within the ancient geology of Tanzania, where heat, pressure, and time conspired to create a gemstone of striking personality. The star of the piece is a beautiful transparent 3.24 carat oval purplish red ruby, measuring 9.50 x 6.70 x 5.50 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to marry table sparkle with pavilion fire. Unearthed by artisanal hands and chosen for its vivid color saturation, this ruby is presented to you with its natural integrity intact, no enhancement. At eye level the clarity reads very slightly included, a testament to its natural origin rather than a flaw. The excellent polish amplifies the stone's inner glow, allowing the purplish red tones to breathe and dance as light moves across its facets. When you wear this gem you carry a piece of Tanzanian earth, shaped by geological patience and human expertise.

From rough to refined, the design process honored the ruby's voice while solving for everyday life. Surrounding the central ruby are two groups of white round natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.568 carats and 0.32 carats respectively, with clarity Very Slightly Included VS1 VS2 and a color grade of F, chosen to complement the ruby without overpowering it. Each diamond was selected to create a halo that frames the central oval, returning light into the heart of the ruby and adding a frosted brilliance that reads classic yet modern. The diamonds are set with precise prongs and secure bezel work on the gallery, a practical choice that protects the stones while allowing maximum light performance. The entire composition is crafted in 18K white gold, a metal chosen for its cool contrast to the warm red of the ruby and for its durability in daily wear. The ring balances elegance with functionality through a thoughtful low profile and reinforced shoulders that cradle the crown, ensuring the piece is as comfortable and secure as it is striking.

At The Natural Ruby Company we believe a fine jewel should tell a story and serve a life. This ring is finished with attention to proportion and ergonomics, the shank shaped for comfort, the setting engineered to resist snagging, and the prongs aligned to guard the oval form while still letting air and light energize the stone. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish work in tandem to make the ruby sing under candlelight and sunlight alike, while the surrounding F color diamonds provide a crisp, clean halo that enhances the ruby without stealing its stage. The result is an heirloom quality ring that moves from formal evenings to everyday moments with grace, a piece that performs as reliably as it delights visually.
