1.01 Ct. Purplish Red Ruby and Natural Diamond Halo Ring, Platinum 950

This ring is centered by a beautiful, transparent 1.01 carat oval purplish red ruby, measuring 6.32 x 5.19 x 3.52 millimeters, set as the primary visual focus. The stone is a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that combines the depth of pavilion facets with a faceting layout designed to maximize face up brilliance while preserving the saturation of color, and it displays an excellent polish that contributes to lively surface reflections. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal to the unaided eye and do not interrupt the overall transparency or the stone s visual appeal. The recorded depth is approximately 61 percent based on the average of the length and width, a proportion that balances depth and table to present strong color richness without appearing overly deep, and the color intensity is described as intense, a key factor in the ruby s attractiveness. This ruby is heat treated, a common and stable enhancement used to optimize color and clarity, disclosed here to ensure informed selection. Most importantly, this gem originates from Burma Myanmar, a provenance that has a measurable influence on both aesthetic and market value, and this ring is offered by The Natural Ruby Company, a specialist dealer with a focus on ethically sourced and well documented stones.

Complementing the central ruby are a total of 18 natural diamonds, arranged as 10 tapered baguette shaped stones totaling 0.30 carats, and 8 round brilliant cuts totaling 0.26 carats, so the combined diamond weight is 0.56 carats. The diamonds are uniformly graded at VS1 clarity and F color, a combination that ensures bright, near colorless white light return and minimal internal characteristics without competing visually with the ruby. The tapered baguette shapes introduce elegant linear accents that visually lengthen and frame the oval ruby, while the round brilliants supply the scintillation and lively sparkle that highlight the ruby s intense purplish red hue. The consistent VS1 clarity grade means that the diamonds will be free from noticeable inclusions to the naked eye, preserving a clean, luminous contrast against the saturated center stone. The diamonds and ruby are set entirely in platinum 950, a metal that is 95 percent pure platinum, selected for its strength, long term stability, and neutral white tone that reinforces color fidelity in the gemstones and offers hypoallergenic properties for daily wear.

The origin of this ruby from Burma Myanmar is central to the ring s appeal and to its desirability for an educated buyer. Burmese rubies are historically and geologically associated with a particular chromium rich crystallization environment that often produces intense, velvety reds and purplish red tones distinguished by depth and saturation, characteristics that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Provenance from Myanmar frequently commands a premium because of the combination of rarity, historical significance, and a consistent reputation for producing stones with exceptional color and eye clean appearance, particularly in sizes around one carat where color density is critical. For buyers who value traceable origin, the combination of a transparent, intense 1.01 carat Burmese ruby with high quality VS1, F color diamond accents set in enduring platinum 950 represents both a collectible gemstone and a wearable work of jewelry art. The Natural Ruby Company stands behind the stone s disclosed treatment and origin, and we are prepared to provide further gemological documentation and detailed images to support evaluation, ensuring that your purchase is an informed investment in a gemstone with verifiable character and lasting aesthetic appeal.
