Antique Style Ruby Ring 4.03 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

Across civilizations rubies have been revered as the gemstone of kings and guardians, symbols of courage, passion and enduring legacy. This ring centers on a C.Dunaigre certified vivid red Pigeons Blood ruby, a magnificent 4.03 carat oval, measuring 10.75 by 7.97 by 4.99 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that captures light with an old world radiance and a modern fire. The gem is eye clean when viewed at eye level, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, enhanced by careful heat treatment to reveal the truest depth of red. Sourced from Mozambique, where some of the most sought after rubies of recent discovery have been found, this stone evokes the noble history of rubies that adorned coronets and ceremonial robes, while speaking to a refined contemporary taste that values provenance and authenticity.

At The Natural Ruby Company this ruby is set in a classic halo design that marries tradition with comfort and wearability. Surrounding the center are white pear shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.60 carats, and white round brilliant natural diamonds weighing approximately 1.10 carats, all graded Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of F, creating a luminous frame that amplifies the ruby without overpowering it. The entire composition is crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, chosen to complement the warmth of the ruby and to honor the timeless palettes of heritage jewelry. The band has been designed with all day wear in mind, featuring a thoughtfully contoured interior and a balanced profile that sits securely and comfortably on the finger, reducing pressure points and minimizing catch on clothing. Prong heights and settings are engineered to protect the ruby while allowing maximum light entry, so the wearer enjoys exquisite presence and enduring comfort in equal measure. This ring is a statement of lineage and refined taste, an heirloom ready to be worn daily or reserved for moments that demand extraordinary beauty.
