0.45 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Ruby Bezel Bracelet, 14K Yellow Gold

This delicate 14K yellow gold bracelet from The Natural Ruby Company measures 7 inches in length, and centers a transparent 0.45 carat round Mozambique ruby, cut in a mixed brilliant style and measuring 4.50 x 4.50 x 2.85 mm. The ruby displays vivid color intensity, an excellent polish, and a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The stone has been heat treated to enhance its natural color, a stable and commonly accepted treatment for rubies, and it is set in a protective bezel that showcases the gem while securing the girdle. The slim, elegant chain and low profile setting create a refined silhouette that is comfortable for daily wear and ideal for stacking with other favorite pieces. Attention to finish and proportions ensures that the light performance of the ruby is maximized, producing a lively, saturated red that reads richer and more luminous than many mass market red stones.

Compared to more common alternatives, this Mozambique ruby offers distinct advantages in color, transparency, and provenance. Garnet often appears in the market as an accessible red option, however garnet typically shows a deeper brownish or wine tone and less brilliance under light, while this ruby gives a clearer, more luminous red. Synthetic rubies and red glass can mimic hue, but they usually lack the natural inclusions that give a gemstone character and confirm its natural origin, qualities that informed collectors value. Spinel can approach fine red tones, but fine red spinel is rare and often lighter or more pinkish than a vivid Mozambique ruby. Red tourmaline tends to lean toward pinkish red and has different refractive behavior, resulting in a softer sparkle. For someone seeking a small, unobtrusive, yet genuinely natural red gem with authentic story and attractive light return, this bracelet represents a refined choice, and The Natural Ruby Company is pleased to present this responsibly sourced, beautifully finished piece.
