1.34 Ct. Ruby Natural Diamond Pave Ring, 18K White Gold

This ring is meticulously executed in 18K white gold, an alloy chosen for its optimal balance of purity and structural resilience, with a hand finished surface that receives rhodium plating to enhance the metal tone and to maintain a brilliant white canvas for the gemstones, The center stone is a faceted oval ruby, presented with a medium to deep tone and strong saturation, the cutting appears to combine a mixed facet arrangement with brilliant style crown facets and a carefully proportioned pavilion, this combination maximizes return of red body color while allowing scintillation across the table and crown, the stone is held within a secure multi prong setting that elevates the ruby slightly above the halo, the elevation and open gallery geometry allow light to penetrate the pavilion, which is essential for achieving depth of color and dynamic red flashes in both daylight and artificial light.

Surrounding the ruby is a halo of precisely matched round brilliant diamonds, each stone selected for consistent table size and cut angles to ensure uniform sparkle, the halo is bead set with minimal metal showing, the close tolerance in stone spacing creates a continuous band of white brilliance that visually increases the apparent diameter of the central ruby, the ring shoulders carry a row of pavé diamonds that taper gently along the shank, the pavé work is executed with microscopic bead setting and careful burnishing, the stones on the shoulders are sized and matched to provide a soft gradient of brightness from the halo to the plain shank, the overall diamond selection emphasizes cut quality to maximize return of light, the diamonds act as a neutral high intensity counterpoint to the ruby, increasing perceived saturation through optical contrast.

From a design perspective the ring is highly versatile, the oval ruby and surrounding halo create a focal point that scales elegantly with both formal evening wear and tailored daytime looks, on dark evening fabrics such as black silk or deep navy satin the ruby reads as an intense focal accent that draws the eye, the halo provides the immediate sparkle necessary to read as formal jewelry under low light conditions, against lighter palettes such as cream cashmere or pastel linen the white gold and diamond halo harmonize with the outfit, allowing the ruby to function as a warm chromatic anchor, the slim, pavé studded shank keeps the silhouette refined and proportionate, this narrow profile makes the piece excellent for stacking with slim wedding bands or with textured metal bands for a contemporary layered effect, when worn with casual elevated looks such as a crisp white shirt and dark denim the ring lends a considered touch of luxury without appearing oversized, the architectural gallery and modest elevation preserve comfort for daily wear, while still providing the presence expected from a cocktail or engagement ring.

Manufacturing and finishing techniques reflect traditional hand craft combined with modern precision, initial design is realized through CAD modeling to establish ideal proportions and prong geometry, patterns are produced and cast using lost wax techniques, each stone is hand set by a master setter, prong tips are shaped and tapered to secure the ruby without obscuring crown facets, pavé beads are formed and burnished to lock diamonds in place, the final stage includes multiple rounds of polishing to achieve a mirror finish on exposed surfaces and a satin or mirror finish where specified, rhodium plating is applied to maintain a bright white appearance and to reduce surface wear, for long term care we recommend periodic inspection of prongs and pavé beads, cleaning may be performed with warm water and mild detergent using a soft bristle brush, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or high heat which can affect the metal finish and the stability of organic gem materials, occasional professional rhodium replate will restore the original white tone, this ring is intended to serve as a refined focal element in a wardrobe, the technical precision of the faceting and setting creates consistent visual impact, while the considered proportions ensure compatibility across a broad range of outfit styles.
