Accent Stones Ruby Ring 1.70 Ct., 18K White Gold

There are jewels that announce themselves, and then there is this ring from The Natural Ruby Company, a singular study in colour and proportion that commands attention with discretion. At its heart rests a transparent 1.70 carat oval ruby, cut with a mixed brilliant facet arrangement, whose dimensions of 8.25 x 6.25 x 3.50 millimetres make it perfectly balanced upon the finger. Examined at eye level the stone presents as eye clean, its vivid colour saturation conveying a depth and intensity that only the finest rubies possess. The generous polish amplifies every facet, allowing the red to burn with a warm, lively glow. This ruby originates from Thailand, and has undergone traditional heat treatment to enhance clarity and colour, a disclosure we make with absolute candour because provenance and integrity are as integral to luxury as beauty itself. Surrounding the central gem, white round natural diamonds glow with precise, F colour whites, the larger accents weighing approximately 0.07 carats and the supporting stones approximately 0.03 carats, their VS1 and VS2 clarities contributing clean flashes of light that frame the ruby without overwhelming it. The entire composition is set in platinum 950, a metal chosen for its enduring strength and luminous, cool tone, which serves as the perfect foil to the ruby’s vivid warmth.

The design marries classic restraint with artisan flourish, a marriage that will appeal to the discerning collector who prizes both technique and timelessness. The silhouette is sculptural yet refined, the shoulders flowing into the setting with a sense of movement that catches light and admiration in equal measure. The mixed brilliant cut of the oval ruby has been chosen to maximise both brilliance and depth, while the accompanying diamonds have been selected for their purity of tone, to lift the composition and highlight the ruby’s natural chroma. Meticulous hand finishing and an excellent polish ensure that each surface reflects light cleanly, a testament to careful lapidary work and expert setting. The platinum 950 mounting offers security and resilience, holding each stone with precision and allowing the wearer to enjoy the ring daily without sacrificing elegance. For those who appreciate the language of fine jewellery, every element speaks of considered choice, from the stone weights and grades to the metal selection, a vocabulary that signals refined taste and a confident, cultivated sense of style.

Beyond its immediate beauty this ring is conceived as an heirloom, an object meant to traverse generations and accrue story and significance with each hand that wears it. Rubies, being corundum, are exceptionally durable, second only to diamond on the Mohs scale, and when paired with platinum 950 the result is a union built for longevity and for the demands of years and decades. Imagine the piece resting in a velvet case, handed from mother to daughter, from wife to sister, each transfer accompanied by recollection and ritual, the gemstone carrying the memory of moments both private and grand. The disclosed Thai origin and the transparent discussion of its enhancement and grading give future custodians confidence in its authenticity, while a jewel of such exacting proportions and quality is suited to personalisation, engraving, and adaptation, allowing each family to make it part of their narrative. We at The Natural Ruby Company are committed to supporting that journey, offering documentation, guidance on care and insurance, and expert services for resizing or restoration so that the ring may be worn, loved, and preserved. Owning this ring is not merely an acquisition, it is the acceptance of a legacy, a visible sign of achievement and refined judgment that will sit at the centre of family stories for generations to come.
