Antique Style Ruby Ring 2.03 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring announces itself with the confident poise of a true collector’s piece, centered on a rare 2.03 carat asscher octagon ruby from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The stone measures 6.73 by 6.36 by 4.71 millimeters, and its asscher cut delivers crisp, architectural facets that emphasize the gem’s vivid color saturation and excellent polish. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the ruby retains an exceptional transparency and depth that catch light with a velvety, luminous pulse. Heat treatment gently refines the ruby’s hue without compromising its natural character, while the octagonal asscher silhouette brings a vintage modernity that reads as both timeless and audacious. Surrounding the center are white round natural diamonds, a delicate constellation of accent stones totaling approximately 0.203 carats in two groupings, the smaller at approximately 0.03 carats and the principal accents at approximately 0.173 carats, each graded VS for clarity and F slash G for color, chosen to provide a pure, icy counterpoint to the ruby’s warmth. The entire composition is set in 14K yellow gold, the metal’s honeyed glow amplifying the ruby’s richness and lending the ring a distinctly luxurious provenance.

As part of a curated collection this ring functions as a linchpin, an object that harmonizes and elevates other pieces while commanding its own presence. Worn with a slender 14K yellow gold chain and a single ruby or diamond pendant, it creates a deliberate continuity of color and metal, a quiet language of refinement. Layered with delicate yellow gold stacking bands the ring becomes both personal and editorial, permitting casual daywear that transitions effortlessly to evening, or paired with diamond stud earrings and a tennis bracelet to amplify its gala appeal. For contrast, set it beside white gold or platinum pieces to let the ruby’s warmth sing against cooler metals, or pair it with vintage lockets and heirloom pieces to underscore its provenance and narrative. At The Natural Ruby Company we design each setting to be versatile by intention, so this ring will complement a modern jewelry wardrobe as confidently as it will anchor a formal constellation of gems, marking ownership as an affirmation of discerning taste and an appreciation for the enduring drama of natural ruby.
