Three Stone Ruby Ring 2.05 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent GIA certified red ruby weighing 2.05 carats, presented in an elegant oval outline with dimensions of 8.95 by 6.73 by 4.12 millimeters. The ruby is cut in a mixed brilliant style, with a crown and pavilion configuration that combines both brilliant and step elements to optimize light return. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the stone displays vivid color saturation with an excellent polish. The ruby is unenhanced and originates from Mozambique, a source known for richly saturated rubies. The ring is finished in platinum 950, and the design is flanked by white bullet tapered natural diamonds with a combined weight of approximately 1.00 carats, clarity grades VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of E. This combination of a precisely executed mixed brilliant cut, high grade finishing, and a neutral platinum setting defines the piece as a study in optical performance, assembled and presented by The Natural Ruby Company.

The mixed brilliant cut is the central technical feature that maximizes brilliance and scintillation in this ruby. The cut employs a proportioned crown to redirect light back through the table, while the pavilion facets are aligned to create controlled internal reflections that increase light return and reduce leakage. For this specific gemstone the measured depth relative to the average of its length and width yields an approximate depth of 52.6 percent, a proportion that balances face up presence with internal light performance for an oval. The elongated oval outline facilitates a larger visual face up and a dynamic scintillation pattern as the stone is moved. Facet angles and intersections are calibrated to complement the refractive index of ruby, resulting in repeated internal reflections that enhance perceived brightness and preserve color saturation. The mixed approach allows for the sharp, lively flashes typically associated with brilliant cuts while maintaining the directional color and refined outline characteristic of step influenced facets.

Clarity and polish further influence how the cut performs in practical viewing. The very slightly included grade, determined by eye level inspection, indicates that inclusions are minimal and do not significantly interrupt the pathways of light through the crystal lattice. This level of clarity permits a clear transmission of light through the pavilion facets and back through the crown facets, allowing the mixed brilliant geometry to produce strong return and balanced scintillation. Excellent polish on all facet surfaces reduces peripheral scattering and maximizes specular reflection, so that highlights remain crisp and consistent as the ring is viewed from multiple angles. Because the ruby is natural and has not undergone enhancement, its internal features and optical properties remain unaltered, ensuring that the cut responds naturally to incident light and that the vivid saturation is inherent to the material rather than the result of post treatment.

The mounting and companion diamonds are calibrated to reinforce the ruby s optical performance. The platinum 950 setting provides a reflective yet neutral backdrop that accentuates the ruby s vivid red without introducing color bias. The tapered bullet shaped diamonds on either side function both as visual anchors and as controlled reflectors of white light. Their step influenced geometry and taper direct light toward the central stone and produce contrasting bright white flashes that amplify the perceived warmth and depth of the ruby s color. The diamonds quality, graded E in color and VS in clarity, ensures that they return light cleanly and without unwanted color interference. The prong and gallery design allow light to enter the ruby from multiple directions while maintaining secure placement, so that the mixed brilliant faceting can operate with minimal obstruction. The overall execution prioritizes optical interaction between material, cut, and setting, and is presented with certification and transparency by The Natural Ruby Company.
