Three Stone Ruby Ring 0.42 Ct., 14K White & Yellow

This ring centers on a transparent 0.42 carat cushion shape red ruby, precisely measured at 4.14 by 4.12 by 2.41 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to optimize color and brilliance. The ruby exhibits vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, attributes that enhance the depth and face up intensity of the stone. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates minimal impact to visual performance while preserving the natural character of the gem. The ruby is of Burmese origin, Burma, Myanmar, a provenance that is recognized for producing stones with saturated, vivid red tones that are prized in fine jewelry. The Natural Ruby Company presents this center stone as a careful selection, chosen for its balance of color concentration, optical performance, and overall integrity.

Complementing the central ruby are a series of white natural diamonds in both marquise and round shapes, selected to harmonize with the red center without competing for visual dominance. The ring features marquise diamonds of approximately 0.10 carat and approximately 0.05 carat, each graded Very Slightly Included, VSI and VS2, with a color grade of F, ensuring a clean white appearance against the ruby and the metalwork. Additional white round diamonds are included, weighing approximately 0.018 carat and approximately 0.02 carat, also graded Very Slightly Included, VSI and VS2, with color F. These smaller rounds are positioned to create a refined halo and accent pattern, their mixed shapes and calibrated sizes contributing to an even dispersal of scintillation and contrast. The diamond grades reflect a commitment to maintaining consistent visual color and clarity near the central ruby, yielding cohesive optical balance.

The mounting is executed in a combination of 18K white gold and 18K yellow gold, an approach that separates visual roles while maintaining structural integrity. The white gold is employed in the head and diamond settings to enhance the perceived whiteness of the accent stones and to provide a precise seating for the ruby and surrounding diamonds. The yellow gold forms the band and the split shank, offering warmth and a durable base for everyday wear. The ruby is retained with a secure multi prong mounting within a reinforced white gold gallery, providing defined points of contact that stabilize the stone and limit lateral movement. Accent diamonds are set with tightly controlled prong profiles and low profile mounts where appropriate, minimizing their exposure to impact while preserving optical performance. These features together create a secure, engineered setting that prioritizes longevity and peace of mind for the wearer.

Craftsmanship and finishing are consistent with the standards expected from The Natural Ruby Company, with meticulous attention to prong alignment, polish of the metal surfaces, and symmetry of the diamond placement. The mixed metal construction is carefully finished at all junctions to avoid sharp edges or catches, and the gallery geometry distributes stress evenly across the head and shank. For routine care, a gentle cleaning with warm water and a mild detergent, combined with occasional professional inspection to verify prong security, will help preserve both the ruby and the diamond accents. Documentation regarding the origin and the gem details is available on request, supporting provenance and informed ownership. The design provides a comfortable profile that balances presence and practicality, and the secure setting strategy ensures that the aesthetic qualities of the ruby and diamonds are complemented by robust mechanical protection, delivering confidence for regular wear.
