Pave Ruby Ring 0.51 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring presents a precise balance of gemstone quality and refined metalwork, designed to showcase the natural luminosity of a Mozambique ruby. The centerpiece is a transparent round shaped ruby, set with expert prong work that elevates the stone to receive light from multiple angles, creating lively reflection and depth. The combination of an elegant profile and a slim band enhances the visual prominence of the center stone while maintaining comfortable everyday wear. The Natural Ruby Company oversaw each stage of the design and setting, ensuring that proportions, symmetry, and finish align with rigorous standards for fine colored gemstone jewelry.

The ruby measures 4.93 by 4.87 by 2.75 millimeters and weighs 0.51 carats, presented in a mixed brilliant cut that combines faceting styles to optimize both brilliance and color display. Clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a level of clarity that allows the ruby to remain visually clean while preserving its natural character. Color is vivid in saturation, a primary attribute of fine rubies from Mozambique, and the polish is assessed as excellent, reflecting careful lapidary work. The stone has been enhanced by heat treatment, a widely accepted practice to improve color and clarity stability, and the origin is identified as Mozambique, a recognized source for richly colored rubies that display strong saturation and attractive transparency.

Accenting the ruby, natural white round diamonds are integrated along the band and in the basket, specified in two groupings. One grouping totals approximately 0.45 carats, and an additional grouping totals approximately 0.09 carats, yielding a combined approximate diamond weight of 0.54 carats. All accent diamonds are graded clarity VS and color F and G, a combination that ensures bright white appearance and eye clean performance in mounted settings. The diamonds are precisely matched for size and quality to create a consistent visual line along the band, and they are set to maximize sparkle while maintaining secure placement. The arrangement and proportion of the diamonds to the center ruby were determined to support the ruby without overwhelming its color and form.

The mounting is fully executed in 14K yellow gold, chosen for its warm tone that complements the ruby color and for its durable properties suitable for everyday wear. The prong setting for the ruby is engineered to hold the stone securely while creating a delicate silhouette, and the gallery and underbezel geometry are designed to admit light to the pavilion of the ruby, enhancing brilliance. The band features evenly spaced round diamonds set with precise seatings and secure claws, and the interior of the shank is polished to a smooth finish to improve comfort. Craftsmanship includes careful attention to symmetry, consistent stone orientation, and finish quality, reflecting The Natural Ruby Company standards for durable construction and refined aesthetics. Routine care recommendations include avoiding harsh chemicals, periodic professional cleaning, and inspections to ensure prongs remain secure, preserving both the beauty and integrity of the ring.
