Pave Ruby Ring 2.06 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a vivid red pear shaped ruby, certified by C Dunaigre, weighing 2.06 carats. The ruby measures 9.13 by 6.64 by 4.41 millimeters, and displays a mixed brilliant cut that enhances light return and scintillation. The stone is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish. Enhancement by heat treatment has been applied, a stable and widely accepted method to clarify and intensify the natural color, and the ruby is documented as originating from Mozambique. These gemological facts define the gem quality and visual character, and they form the principal attributes that determine long term performance in daily wear.

Surrounding and complementing the central ruby are natural white round diamonds, presented in two allocations, one group weighing approximately 0.306 carats, and the other approximately 0.39 carats. Each accent diamond carries a clarity of VS and a color grade between F and G, selected for clean appearance and consistent brightness. The design employs a halo and an interlaced shank that positions diamonds as continuous accents around the top of the ring and along the shoulders, balancing brilliance with structural support. The ring is fully set in 18K yellow gold, chosen for its combination of durability and refined warm tone, and finished with careful polishing to present both the ruby and diamonds with optimal contrast.

Durability is a focal point in both material selection and mounting technique, making this ring suitable for everyday wear with appropriate care. Ruby, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, ranks among the hardest gem materials used in jewelry, resisting scratches under normal daily activities. Natural diamonds exhibit the highest hardness among gemstones, and their placement in secure bezel like halo and prong settings in this design reduces exposure to incidental contact. The 18K yellow gold alloy provides a robust setting matrix while retaining sufficient malleability for expert stone setting and occasional professional maintenance. Prong profiles are engineered to secure the pear shape ruby at its most vulnerable points, and the girdle and pavilion proportions of the ruby as recorded contribute to a stable seating within the head.

Practical maintenance recommendations align with the ring construction and intended daily use. Routine inspections are advised to confirm prong integrity and to ensure that pavé set stones remain secure, particularly after activities that involve impact or heavy manual work. Cleaning with warm water and a mild, non abrasive detergent, followed by gentle brushing and thorough drying, restores surface luster without compromising the heat treated ruby or the diamond settings. Professional servicing, including ultrasonic cleaning and re polishing of the gold, should be scheduled as needed to maintain metal finish and to address any minor adjustments in the setting. When not worn, storage in a soft pouch or separate compartment reduces the risk of abrasion from other jewelry.

The Natural Ruby Company presents this piece with clear documentation of origin and treatment, reflecting a commitment to transparent gemological disclosure. The combination of a Mozambique ruby of notable color and polish, well matched VS clarity diamonds, and an 18K yellow gold mounting provides a balanced specification that emphasizes longevity, day to day wearability, and enduring aesthetic appeal. For clients seeking a ring that performs reliably with regular use, while retaining refined visual impact, this ring is configured to meet those expectations, and additional sizing or customization options are available upon request through The Natural Ruby Company.
