1.15 Ct. Ruby Accent Stones Necklace, 14K Yellow Gold

This necklace from The Natural Ruby Company pairs a concentrated gemstone pedigree with modern, wearable design, offering clarity of purpose and elegance in one piece. The focal stone is a transparent 1.15 carat emerald cut red ruby, measuring 7.00 x 5.00 x 3.40 millimetres, sourced from Mozambique, which is known for producing rich, saturated rubies. The ruby displays an intense colour intensity and an excellent polish that gives the step-cut facets a refined, luminous face, while the clarity is graded slightly included when viewed at eye level, a realistic and honest assessment that reflects its natural origin and character. The stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that improves colour without undermining the gem’s natural origin, and it is entirely set in solid 14K yellow gold, whose warm hue amplifies the ruby’s deep red tone. The chain features elongated links and a subtle Y-lariat drop that centres the emerald-cut ruby beautifully, with an adjustable length for versatile styling and secure craftsmanship that stands up to daily wear.

Compared to common popular alternatives, this necklace stands out in both material integrity and tasteful design. Many mass-market pieces use plated base metal, simulated stones, or small accent rubies set in crowded halos, which can detract from a single gem’s presence. By contrast, our 1.15 carat natural Mozambique ruby is a genuine, responsibly sourced gem with a meaningful carat size for a pendant, and the emerald cut gives it a contemporary, architectural silhouette that reads as more sophisticated than the ubiquitous round brilliant ruby or petite chips often seen on fashion chains. The use of solid 14K yellow gold rather than vermeil or plating provides real value, tactile weight, and longevity. While cushion or round cuts maximize sparkle, the emerald cut emphasizes color and polish, and in this ruby the intense hue and expert finishing deliver a rich, velvety glow that outperforms lower-grade or synthetic alternatives. For someone seeking a refined daily piece that also reads as luxury, this necklace combines The Natural Ruby Company’s commitment to quality gemstones and thoughtful jewellery design, making it a superior choice for gifting or elevating a personal collection.
