Pave Ruby Ring 1.13 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

At The Natural Ruby Company we present a ring that speaks of rarity, provenance, and a legacy you can wear, a piece designed for the discerning collector who seeks more than beauty, who values origin and story. At its heart sits a transparent 1.13 carat oval red ruby, measuring 7.13 by 5.17 by 3.66 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to enhance fire and depth, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish that allows light to pass through and illuminate every facet. This ruby is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a clarity characteristic that confirms its natural origin while offering visual purity to the unaided eye. The stone has been heat treated, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies the ruby’s admirable red, and it hails from Burma, Myanmar, a source long revered for producing some of the world’s most sought after rubies. The result is a gem that combines the intense, velvet red that connoisseurs prize, with the internal character and provenance that only a natural Burmese ruby can provide, a stone whose rarity is underscored by its precise measurements, exceptional polish, and the unmistakable glow that comes from genuine geological history.

Surrounding this extraordinary center stone is a halo and pavé of white round natural diamonds, carefully selected for their consistency and scintillation, totaling approximately 0.738 carats combined. The featured groupings include a cluster of diamonds weighing approximately 0.34 carats, an additional grouping of approximately 0.278 carats, and a final complement of approximately 0.12 carats, each stone graded at clarity VS, and color grade F and G, delivering a crisp, icy counterpoint to the ruby’s warm intensity. The diamonds are precisely set to form a luminous frame, and additional accent stones continue along the shoulders, creating continuous brilliance as the ring moves. The entire composition is crafted in 18K yellow gold, a choice that enhances the ruby’s red and lends a classic, heirloom quality to the piece. The setting is engineered to both protect and showcase the gemstones, with prongs and bezels that secure the ruby and lift it just enough to catch light from every angle, while the pavé work is executed with meticulous attention to grain and spacing to maximize sparkle without overpowering the central gem.

When compared to lab grown rubies, this Burmese natural ruby stands apart in several meaningful ways that matter to collectors and those who appreciate authentic rarity. Lab grown rubies share the same chemical composition and can exhibit excellent clarity and color, yet they are produced in controlled environments that yield uniform characteristics and a lack of the subtle, telling inclusions and growth structures that form over millennia within the earth. The very slightly included nature of this natural Burmese ruby is not a flaw, but a fingerprint of the gem’s natural history, an assurance that the stone traveled through geological time to acquire its color and character. Heat treatment is a responsible practice used to reveal and stabilize the best color in many fine natural rubies, and it differs from the predictable, engineered enhancements or inherent uniformity of lab grown stones. Provenance from Burma confers not only a stylistic pedigree, but also a scarcity premium, because Burmese rubies of this transparency and vivid saturation are rare and historically sought after. Lab grown alternatives offer accessibility and affordability, they can be beautiful and technically flawless, yet they cannot replicate the unique origin story, the geological inclusions that act as identifiers, and the same long term market desirability that collectors associate with natural, Burmese rubies.

Owning this ring from The Natural Ruby Company places you in a select circle, a small cohort of individuals who value geological heritage, fine craftsmanship, and the quiet prestige of authentic gems. Each ring is produced with bespoke attention, and availability is limited, reflecting the scarcity of natural rubies of this caliber and the disciplined sourcing practices we adhere to. We provide full documentation of origin and treatment, and we stand behind our work with services that include custom sizing, complimentary care advice, and options for additional certification should you wish. The 18K yellow gold setting, the expertly matched VS clarity diamonds in F and G color grade, and the centerpiece Burmese ruby together create a wearable heirloom, a jewel designed to be passed down with its provenance intact. If you seek a ruby ring that is more than a fashion statement, and that embodies rarity, authenticity, and refined elegance, allow us to guide you through the acquisition process.
