Pave Ruby Ring 1.74 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This exceptional ring presents a translucent 1.74 carat oval red ruby, cabochon cut, with dimensions of 8.11 by 5.91 by 3.71 mm, originating from Mozambique, a source increasingly celebrated for its gem quality. The ruby displays intense color saturation and an excellent polish, with inclusions visible at eye level that attest to the stones natural origin and singular character, no enhancement. Set within a halo and shoulders of white round natural diamonds, the setting features approximately 0.36 carats, 0.24 carats, and 0.09 carats of VS clarity, F and G color diamonds, all hand set into warm 14K yellow gold, a combination that frames the red center with luminous contrast. At The Natural Ruby Company we select each specimen for provenance, polish, and personality, offering this piece as a rare opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs who prefer authenticity and an unretouched presence.

When compared to rubies found in more famous rings, this Mozambique cabochon offers a distinct and compelling alternative. Many celebrated rings feature faceted rubies with the classic pigeon blood or deep pigeon red tone, often selected for extreme clarity and faceting brilliance, whereas this cabochon delivers a softer, more luminous glow that can appear alive from every angle. The intense saturation of this stone matches the depth of color seen in well known high jewelry pieces, while its cabochon silhouette creates a halo of reflected color rather than the flash of faceted refraction. Importantly, this ruby is offered with no enhancement, a characteristic that elevates its rarity when set against many market examples that undergo treatments to stabilize color and clarity, making this natural, untreated gemstone a refined choice for the discerning buyer.

The diamond accents are carefully calibrated to enhance the rubys presence without competing with it. The total diamond weight and arrangement create a balanced halo and shoulder profile, the VS clarity ensuring clean sparkle and the F and G color grades preserving bright white contrast against the yellow gold. The 14K yellow gold mount is polished to a high degree, its warm tone amplifying the rubys red and lending the ring a timeless, vintage inspired elegance. Every junction, prong, and pavé bead is finished to exacting standards, reflecting the commitment to craftsmanship you expect from a bespoke jewel. This ring feels custom made, as though each component were chosen to tell a precise story of color, light, and provenance.

Owning this ring means joining a very small circle of collectors who value natural rarity, provenance, and artisanal finish, it is an intimate jewel that performs beautifully both as an heirloom piece and as a statement of refined taste. Availability is limited, given the uncommon combination of size, untreated origin, and exceptional polish, and The Natural Ruby Company stands ready to provide private viewings, detailed documentation, and personalized service to ensure this gem finds the right hand. For those who appreciate the distinction between fame and singularity, this ruby ring offers a rare clarity of purpose, an enduring warmth of color, and the quiet pride of wearing a gem that is both honest and extraordinarily beautiful.
