Three Stone Ruby Ring 1.51 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring features a transparent 1.51 carat pear shape purplish red ruby, with dimensions 9.03 x 6.42 x 3.72 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant pavilion and girdle arrangement. The stone exhibits vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, enhancement by heat treatment, and an origin of Tanzania. Accompanying the center ruby are white pear shaped natural diamonds with a combined weight of approximately 0.50 carats, clarity grades of Very Slightly Included in the VS1 and VS2 range, and a color grade of F. The entire composition is set in 14K white gold, providing a durable, reflective mounting that emphasizes color contrast and overall balance.

The mixed brilliant pear cut of the ruby delivers a distinct light performance profile when compared to other common cuts and styles. The mixed brilliant faceting pattern concentrates small, well defined facets in the crown and pavilion, producing abundant scintillation and lively fire on both small and large movements. Against a round brilliant, the pear shaped mixed brilliant will show a similar degree of scintillation but with an elongated spread that visually increases surface presence and directs light along the length of the stone. Compared to step cuts, such as emerald or baguette styles, the mixed brilliant returns more scattered flashes and a greater sense of sparkle, while step cuts tend to present broader, architectural flashes and stronger internal contrast. Relative to antique cuts and older faceting styles, the mixed brilliant offers a cleaner, more modern light return and higher apparent brightness, provided the polish and symmetry are well executed.

The very very slightly included clarity and excellent polish of this ruby minimize light obstruction, allowing the vivid purplish red hue to display with saturation rather than being dulled by internal features. The pear shaped side diamonds, with F color and VS clarity, contribute bright white brilliance and flank the center stone to enhance perceived size and contrast. The 14K white gold setting reflects ambient light into the gems while providing a neutral backdrop that intensifies the ruby color and complements the diamond whiteness. This combination of mixed brilliant cutting, strong color saturation, high clarity at eye level, and considered metal choice results in a ring that emphasizes modern sparkle and color intensity, a presentation that The Natural Ruby Company offers with detailed gemological transparency.
