Antique Style Ruby Ring 2.01 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers a GIA certified Red 2.01 carat emerald cut ruby, a gem that stands apart from the many treated or lab grown options commonly offered on the market, the ruby measures 7.71 x 5.71 x 3.95 millimeters, and it has an emerald cut that emphasizes clarity and color, the clarity grade is eye clean, evaluated at eye level, the color shows vivid saturation, and the polish is excellent, importantly the stone has no enhancement, and it originates from Mozambique, a source now recognized for producing some of the finest natural rubies in the world, when you compare this to typical mass market pieces the difference is clear, many sellers use heat treated stones to boost color, or offer synthetic alternatives that mimic beauty but lack natural origin and rarity, The Natural Ruby Company presents this ruby with full transparency and GIA certification, so the buyer knows they are investing in an authentic, untreated natural gem that will retain its character and market value over time.

The setting uses white baguette and round natural diamonds to frame and elevate the central ruby, there are white baguette diamonds weighing approximately 0.16 carats, with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F, there is an additional pair of white baguette diamonds weighing approximately 0.12 carats, also VS1 and VS2 in clarity and F in color, the ring further features two white round diamonds of approximately 0.18 carats each, clarity VS and color F slash G, these diamonds are carefully selected to provide clean, bright side sparkle without overpowering the central ruby, when compared to settings that rely on lower clarity or lower color diamonds to cut costs, this design opts for higher quality accents, the clarity grades VS and color F to G ensure excellent brilliance and contrast against the vivid red center, the mix of baguette and round shapes creates a refined architectural balance that complements the linear facets of the emerald cut ruby.

The ring is fully set in 14K white gold, a choice that balances durability, appearance, and value, 14K white gold offers a substantial feel and daily wear resilience that is often preferred for engagement and wedding pieces over softer metals, while platinum is heavier and more costly, 14K white gold allows for more intricate diamond work and a lower overall cost without sacrificing the luminous white backdrop that makes the ruby and diamonds pop, in direct comparison to common fashion rings plated in lower grade metals, this solid 14K setting will maintain its finish and structural integrity with proper care, this ring is designed to be worn every day as an engagement or wedding piece, the metal choice supports that purpose while keeping the overall price proposition favorable for buyers who seek both luxury and longevity.
