8.20 Ct. Ruby and Natural Diamond Antique Style Necklace, 18K White Gold

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Ruby Company, I am pleased to present this exceptional 18K white gold necklace, centered around a magnificent 8.20 carat oval red ruby, measuring 14.17 by 10.53 by 5.80 millimeters, in a mixed brilliant cut. This ruby displays vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, with a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and is heat treated to enhance its natural beauty. The ruby is sourced from Madagascar, a region known for producing richly colored stones, and its transparent, saturated tone provides a captivating focal point that shines with depth and presence. Surrounding and accenting this central gem are nine hundred eighty two white round shape brilliant cut natural diamonds, totaling 5.54 carats, with a clarity grade of VS1 Very Slightly Included and a color grade of F, creating a luminous contrast that elevates the ruby and adds a refined, continuous sparkle throughout the piece.

The design is finely executed in 18K white gold with delicate, vintage inspired scrollwork that cradles the ruby and integrates seamlessly with the diamond set chain, resulting in a necklace that is both elegant and wearable for formal occasions. The combination of the large, vivid ruby and nearly six carats of high quality F color VS1 diamonds makes this piece a statement of timeless luxury, suitable for anniversaries, milestone gifts, or as a signature heirloom. For care, I recommend storing the necklace separately to avoid abrasion, cleaning gently with a soft brush and mild soapy water, and having the setting inspected and the stones professionally cleaned periodically. At The Natural Ruby Company, we can provide additional information such as a gemological report for the ruby and certification for the diamonds upon request, and we are happy to discuss chain length preferences, complimentary gift presentation, and secure international shipping options.
