Antique Style Ruby Ring 1.04 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on an AGL certified red ruby, weighing 1.04 carats, presented in a pear shape with mixed brilliant cut proportions intended to maximize brilliance and color return. The stone measures 7.41 by 5.09 by 3.42 millimeters, and the gem was evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish. The origin of the ruby is Mozambique, and the report notes that the stone has undergone no enhancement, preserving its natural character and structural integrity. The pear shape lends a classical silhouette with a tapered termination that enhances finger length, and the mixed brilliant cut combines faceting styles to balance internal fire and surface brilliance, making the face up presentation lively and visually engaging in varied lighting conditions.

Surrounding and flanking the ruby are white natural diamonds, selected to complement the ruby without competing with its color. The ring incorporates a set of round diamonds totaling approximately 0.16 carats, with a clarity grade of VS and a color grade between F and G, and an additional grouping of round diamonds totaling approximately 0.072 carats with matching clarity VS and color grade between F and G. These diamonds are set to form a halo and to accent the shoulders, providing contrast and a measured increase in overall scintillation. The stones are set in an 18K yellow gold mounting, which offers a warm backdrop that intensifies the ruby red and harmonizes with the white diamonds, and the setting work includes a pierced gallery that reduces weight while adding a refined architectural detail that is visible from the profile.

Customization options are available to create a one of a kind piece, and the design can be adapted while maintaining the gemstone quality and certification standards that define The Natural Ruby Company. Clients may choose alternative precious metals, including 18K white gold, 18K rose gold, or platinum, to alter the overall tone and to coordinate with personal preferences or existing jewelry. The halo can be reconfigured, expanded, or removed to produce a cleaner solitaire presentation, a bezel surround, or an enhanced pave halo, and the shoulder diamonds can be adjusted in size, quantity, or quality to change the visual balance and total diamond weight. For those seeking an heirloom approach, the gallery and shank may receive hand engraved motifs, a signature lattice, or a comfort fit profile, and the ring may be paired with a custom matching band that nests flush against the setting.

The process for commissioning a customized ring with The Natural Ruby Company begins with a detailed consultation to confirm preferences for metal, setting, and any modifications to accent stones, and it proceeds through CAD renderings and photographic proofs prior to final fabrication. We provide guidance on technical considerations, including the effect of setting choices on the ruby weight and appearance, the implications of recutting or re faceting for proportion and brightness, and recommended setting styles for daily wear that protect the pointed end of a pear shaped stone. Lead times vary with the extent of customization, and every finished piece is inspected to ensure that gemstone certificates and quality expectations are met, and that the workmanship aligns with the specifications approved during the design phase. The Natural Ruby Company stands behind its gemstones and craftsmanship, and we will document the final configuration and provide care recommendations to preserve the condition and beauty of the ring for generations.
