Three Stone Ruby Ring 1.20 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on an AGL certified Red 1.20 carat oval ruby, with precise dimensions of 7.26 by 5.74 by 3.56 millimeters, and a mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize both brilliance and depth of color. The ruby is graded eye clean when evaluated at normal viewing distance, exhibiting vivid color saturation and an excellent polish that enhances its transparency and internal fire. No enhancements have been applied to this stone, and its natural origin is Mozambique, a source known for producing deeply saturated rubies with balanced tone and strong chroma. The proportions of the oval shape, together with the mixed brilliant faceting, provide a lively play of light that remains consistent across viewing angles, while the certified status from AGL confirms the natural origin and the absence of treatment, supporting a confident assessment of the gem quality.

Flanking the central ruby are matched natural white half moon diamonds, selected to provide spectral contrast and to emphasize the ruby center without overpowering it. The total diamond weight is approximately 0.30 carats, and the stones are graded Very Slightly Included in clarity, specifically VS1 and VS2, combined with an E color grade that ensures a near colorless appearance against the warm metal. The half moon shape was chosen to complement the oval center, filling the shoulders of the setting and framing the main stone with clean geometry. Each diamond has been cut and polished to optimize light return and to maintain consistent scintillation next to the mixed brilliant ruby. The setting geometry positions the diamonds to balance the visual weight of the center stone, producing a coherent optical effect that highlights the ruby hue while maintaining overall refinement and symmetry.

The entire mounting is executed in 18K yellow gold, chosen for its balance of aesthetic warmth, malleability, and long term durability. Compared with higher purity gold alloys, 18K gold incorporates a measured alloy content that increases hardness and resistance to surface wear, while preserving the rich yellow tone that complements the red ruby and near colorless diamonds. The band construction is engineered to withstand daily wear, with reinforced shoulders and a secure prong arrangement for the center and side stones, allowing for confident use over time and for routine professional maintenance such as cleaning and periodic inspection. Resizing may be performed by qualified jewelers without compromising structural integrity when done according to best practices. The Natural Ruby Company stands behind the sourcing and certification of this piece, and the combination of a naturally sourced, untreated Mozambique ruby, well graded natural diamonds, and a robust 18K yellow gold mounting results in a ring that is both materially and visually enduring, suitable for those who require lasting performance from their fine jewelry.
