Accent Stones Ruby Ring 0.45 Ct., 18K Rose Gold

The centerpiece of this ring is a luminous 0.45 carat round Mozambique ruby, measuring 4.93 by 4.88 by 2.43 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that maximizes fire and depth of color, with a clarity grade of slightly included as evaluated at eye level, vivid color saturation, and an excellent polish. Enhanced by heat treatment to stabilize and intensify its red, this ruby glows with a pure, regal hue that sits beautifully upon an 18K rose gold band, the warm metal enhancing the gemstone’s vividness. Flanking the ruby, white marquise shaped natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.30 carats, clarity Very Slightly Included VS1 and VS2, color grade F, are set in a graduated sequence to create elegant movement and a refined shimmer along the shoulders of the ring. Each element is composed and finished with the exacting standards you expect from The Natural Ruby Company, a piece that reads as both heirloom and bold statement.

When comparing durability for daily wear, ruby is an exceptional choice, ranking nine on the Mohs hardness scale and second only to diamond, which is a ten. This inherent hardness makes the ruby highly resistant to scratches and ideal for a ring designed to be worn often, while the marquise diamonds provide additional resilience and sparkle. The slight natural inclusions are part of the gem’s character and do not compromise its toughness. Heat treatment, the enhancement applied to this stone, is a widely accepted and stable process that improves color without reducing structural integrity. The 18K rose gold setting balances luxurious warmth with sufficient hardness to protect the stones, while the secure prong mounting holds the center ruby confidently above the band. For sustained beauty, avoid high impact activities, remove the ring for heavy manual work or harsh chemical exposure, and have the setting inspected periodically to ensure prongs remain secure. Gentle cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush will restore brilliance, and professional servicing will keep the ring pristine.

Owning this ring from The Natural Ruby Company is a declaration of refined taste and discerning achievement, a jewel that marries rare color with enduring craftsmanship. It is designed to be worn, admired, and handed down, a compact triumph of gemological excellence and elegant design that rewards daily life with effortless luxury.
