Halo Ruby Ring 1.38 Ct., 14K White & Yellow

This ring centers a transparent 1.38 carat oval ruby, dimensions 7.27 x 5.19 x 3.75 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a modified crown with brilliant pavilion faceting to optimize both color saturation and light return. The oval proportions are carefully controlled to maintain symmetry and a pleasing length to width ratio, the crown facets channeling light into the pavilion while the pavilion facets return a lively scintillation that complements the ruby's vivid saturation. Clarity is graded Very Slightly Included, evaluated at eye level, and the surface displays an excellent polish, indicating meticulous lapidary work. The ruby is heat treated, a stable and traditional enhancement, and its Mozambique origin contributes to the intense red hue and clean crystal structure. Surrounding the ruby is a halo of white round lab grown diamonds totaling approximately 0.28 carats, each stone selected for color grade F and clarity Very Slightly Included, graded VS1 and VS2, chosen to provide a high degree of contrast and white brilliance without overpowering the central ruby. The diamond halo is set with precise prong work that elevates the stones to create optical separation between the red center and the white outer ring, enhancing perceived size and sparkle.

The mounting is executed in a two tone configuration of 14K white gold and 14K yellow gold, the white gold head and halo serving to neutralize color and maximize diamond brightness, while the yellow gold shank imparts traditional warmth and wearable elegance. The basket and prong geometry allow ample light ingress to the pavilion of the ruby, and the structural engineering of the setting balances security with minimal metal obstruction to preserve visual depth. With corundum hardness rating providing long term abrasion resistance, and the use of robust gold alloys, this ring is designed to be serviceable across generations, suitable for periodic maintenance such as prong retipping and ultrasonic cleaning without compromising the original finish. Presented by The Natural Ruby Company, this piece is intended as a true family heirloom, its combination of durable materials, refined cutting and classical dual metal craftsmanship, ensuring it can be passed down and enjoyed with the provenance and technical quality that discerning collectors appreciate.
