1.88 Ct. Ruby Natural Diamond Pave Ring, Platinum 950

This ring pairs classic romantic symbolism with rigorous gemological integrity, set entirely in platinum 950 for enduring strength and a cool white backdrop that enhances the warmth of the center stone. At its heart sits an oval red gem, presented within a scalloped double halo of brilliant white diamonds and interspersed rubies, a composition that reads as a blooming rose from every angle. The oval center suggests continuity and eternity, elongating the finger and evoking an unbroken commitment, while the alternating diamonds and rubies form petal like motifs that symbolize devotion and the balance of passion and purity in a lasting partnership. The use of platinum 950 is intentional, offering hypoallergenic properties and superior resistance to wear, qualities that mirror the ideals of a relationship meant to endure.

From a technical perspective this design addresses both aesthetic and investment minded criteria that an educated buyer will appreciate. Rubies are graded by color, tone, and saturation more than by clarity, with the most prized stones showing a vivid saturated red with medium to medium dark tone, while clarity is assessed for eye visible inclusions rather than laboratory only features. High quality rubies are commonly heat treated to improve color and clarity, and untreated stones or stones with documented provenance from classic sources such as Myanmar or Mozambique command a premium, so we recommend requesting a lab report from GIA or a comparable laboratory. Diamonds in the halo and shoulders are selected for high brilliance, with color and clarity grades chosen to maximize scintillation against the ruby, and secure prong settings combined with platinum mounting ensure both light performance and durability. The contrast between the ruby, with a refractive index near 1.76 and a Mohs hardness of 9, and the diamonds, with a hardness of 10, creates visual impact while remaining robust for everyday wear. For a buyer focused on meaningful symbolism and objective value, this ring offers a marriage of thoughtful design, reputable materials, and the potential for certification and documented origin, making it a persuasive choice for an engagement or anniversary that celebrates enduring passion and fidelity.
