Antique Style Ruby Ring 0.60 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 0.60 carat oval ruby, measuring 5.92 by 4.54 by 2.31 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance fire and depth of color. The mixed brilliant faceting maximizes scintillation while preserving table size to showcase the stone’s intense color saturation, evaluated as intense at face up. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, and the stone exhibits excellent polish, with heat treatment disclosed to enhance tone and uniformity, and Mozambique origin specified for traceable provenance. The ruby is secured in a multi claw crown that lifts the stone from the band to allow light to enter the pavilion and reinforce the gem’s natural red saturation, while the pierced gallery beneath the setting incorporates small accent diamonds to add visual continuity and technical refinement.

Along the shoulders and gallery, white round brilliant diamonds are integrated to complement the ruby. Larger accent diamonds are approximately 0.08 carat each, graded Very Slightly Included, with clarity grades noted as VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F. Smaller accent diamonds are approximately 0.04 carat each, graded VS clarity with a color grade of F to G. These diamonds are bead set along the shoulders, with precise spacing and tight bead work to maintain optical continuity and minimize metal visibility. The setting displays delicate milgrain edgework along the band, a hallmark of meticulous finishing that softens light transition between metal and gemstone, and the overall polish and finish of the 14 karat yellow gold mounting provide warm reflection that intensifies the ruby’s hue without overpowering its saturation.

For a significant life event, this ring is engineered to act as a lasting emblem of that moment, combining gemstone selection and traditional hand finishing to achieve both visual impact and long term wearability. The technical choices, from mixed brilliant faceting to bead set brilliant diamonds and milgrain detailing in 14K yellow gold, address both optical performance and structural security, making the piece equally appropriate for an engagement, milestone anniversary, or meaningful rite of passage. The Natural Ruby Company provides this design with full disclosure of treatment and origin, appealing to buyers who prioritize gemological integrity and artisanal craftsmanship.
