1.69 Ct. Ruby Natural Diamond Pave Ring, 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a richly saturated, emerald cut ruby, selected for its deep, vivid red saturation and excellent step cut that emphasizes color and directional light return. The ruby exhibits an eye clean appearance to the unaided eye, allowing its natural hue to read clearly in varied lighting. For educated buyers who value provenance and quality, this style of ruby is typically sourced through established networks that prioritize traceability, with material commonly originating from renowned deposits in Mozambique, Madagascar, and Southeast Asia. Surrounding the centerstone is a fine halo of hand selected round brilliant diamonds, chosen for near colorless tones and clean clarity, set to G to H color range and VS to SI clarity range where available, enabling a bright contrast that intensifies the ruby without competing with it. The emerald cut paired with a diamond halo is a refined combination that elevates perceived carat weight and presence, while the pavé diamonds along the shoulders add cumulative scintillation, all set in secure prong and bead settings that minimize light leakage and maximize durability for long term wear and enjoyment.

The entire mounting is crafted in 18K yellow gold, a 75 percent pure gold alloy that provides a warm, complementary backdrop to the ruby and diamonds, with sufficient alloying for everyday resilience. The band is engineered for all day comfort, featuring a gently rounded interior profile and a smooth, tapered shank that sits naturally on the finger, reducing fatigue during prolonged wear. The ring has a modest profile with secure prongs and a low to medium height gallery, designed to mitigate catching while still allowing light to reach the stones. Finishing work includes careful polishing of contact surfaces and precise setting angles to ensure both comfort and longevity, making this ring suitable for someone who desires a piece that is both elegant and wearable from morning through evening. For maintenance, periodic professional cleaning and inspection of prongs is recommended to preserve the stone settings and gold finish, and our team can provide certification details and sourcing information upon request to support valuation, insurance, and resale considerations.
