Pave Ruby Pendant 2.26 Ct., 18K White Gold

This pendant is centered by a GIA certified red ruby weighing 2.26 carats, with dimensions 8.60 by 6.64 by 4.61 millimeters, set in a refined 14K white gold mounting. The ruby is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant style crown to maximize scintillation with a proportioned pavilion that controls light return for a vivid face up appearance, the finish evaluated as excellent polish. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which preserves transparency and contributes to a clean, lively window of color. Origin is documented as Mozambique, a source known for saturated, collector grade rubies, and the stone exhibits vivid color saturation that reads as pure, intense red under standard viewing conditions. The head is secured by a four prong setting with an open gallery that allows light to enter the pavilion for optimized brilliance, and the structure is engineered to balance protection with minimal metal coverage to showcase the oval outline.

Complementing the center ruby are natural white round diamonds totaling approximately 0.09 carats, graded clarity VS and color F and G, selected for their small scale brilliance that frames the main gem without competing for attention. These melee diamonds are precision set into the bail and upper mounting, providing a measured contrast in tone and a calibrated transition from the white gold suspension to the ruby pavilion. The overall craftsmanship emphasizes symmetry of prong placement, hand finished polish on exposed surfaces, and a low profile basket that ensures comfortable wear while maintaining structural integrity. Symbolically the composition is designed to represent love through the passionate red center, strength through the durable gold and secure setting, and new beginnings through the clarity and forward facing oval orientation, creating a focal point that reads as a heart of intent. This piece is presented by The Natural Ruby Company, accompanied by its GIA documentation, and is suitable for clients seeking a technically refined gem pendant that communicates emotional meaning with exacting gemological standards.
