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

This ring centers on a transparent 1.34 carat oval shaped ruby, presented in an elegant mixed brilliant cut that maximizes light return and color saturation, the stone measures 8.16 x 6.15 x 2.61 mm, clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, color presents with vivid intensity, and the surface polish is excellent. The ruby originates from Mozambique, and it has been heat treated as a standard and stable enhancement to improve color and clarity. The proportions of the oval and the mixed brilliant pavilion work together to emphasize the stone presence without overwhelming the finger, creating a refined focal point that retains a natural, gemological authenticity. The selection and assessment of this ruby reflect the exacting standards applied by The Natural Ruby Company, ensuring that the primary gemstone combines aesthetic impact with documented properties.

Surrounding the central ruby are accent diamonds that complement the red center with crisp white contrast, a ring of 26 round shaped mixed brilliant cut natural diamonds contributes a total weight of 0.30 carats, while an additional grouping of 14 round shaped brilliant cut natural diamonds adds a further total weight of 0.21 carats. All of the natural diamonds are graded VS1 Very Slightly Included for clarity, and F for color, which results in a high degree of brightness and scintillation alongside a near colorless appearance. The combination of mixed brilliant and full brilliant cuts provides subtle variation in the way each accent stone interacts with light, producing a layered brilliance that supports the ruby without competing with it. The distribution and relative sizes of the 40 accent diamonds are chosen to create balanced proportions and a seamless transition from center stone to band, maintaining visual harmony and refined symmetry.

The mounting is executed entirely in 18K white gold, selected for its enduring color stability and its ability to present both the ruby and the diamonds with neutral, cool tone. The bezel and prong work are engineered with attention to even pressure distribution, secure stone positioning, and minimal metal visibility so that light is allowed to enter the stones from optimal angles. The band has been specifically designed for comfort and all day wear, featuring a smooth internal profile and gently rounded edges to reduce pressure points and to allow the ring to sit naturally on the finger through extended periods of activity. Weight distribution across the shank has been calibrated to prevent rotation of the center stone for typical wear patterns, and the finishing process includes meticulous polishing on the interior surfaces to eliminate roughness. The combination of 18K gold mass and refined interior shaping produces a substantial yet comfortable feel, suitable for daily wear while retaining a level of refinement appropriate for special occasions.

Provenance, care, and long term performance are presented with straightforward guidance, The Natural Ruby Company documents the origin and treatment of the ruby and provides gem grading information for the diamonds, supporting informed ownership and future appraisal. Routine care involves gentle cleaning with a soft brush, warm water, and mild soap, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners if the setting or any inclusions warrant caution, and refraining from exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive agents. Periodic professional inspection is recommended to confirm secure settings and to address normal wear on prongs or milgrain, ensuring the ring remains structurally sound and visually consistent over time. The combination of a Mozambique ruby of vivid color, an arrangement of high clarity F color diamonds, and an 18K white gold comfort oriented band results in a piece that is both wearable and engineered for longevity, offering a reliable and elegant option for those seeking sustained daily wear with disciplined gemological quality.
