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

This delicate 14K white gold bracelet from The Natural Ruby Company measures seven inches and centers on a single, transparent 0.45 carat round Mozambique ruby, precisely cut to 4.50 by 4.50 by 2.85 millimeters in a mixed brilliant style. The ruby displays vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, and it is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The setting is a low profile bezel that protects the stone while allowing light to enter and emphasize its internal fire. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance color, a widely accepted practice that stabilizes and intensifies the natural red tone. The overall effect is an elegant and modern piece that sits close to the wrist and reads as refined simplicity, ideal for everyday wear or as a discreet accent to evening attire.

Compared to more common red alternatives, this Mozambique ruby stands apart in several ways. Garnets often present a deeper, sometimes brownish red that lacks the vivid saturation and transparency you see here, and they are generally softer so they require more careful handling. Red spinel can be lively and similar in hue, but natural spinel of this clarity and tone is rarer and typically commands a different price profile, while many spinels still lack the intense warmth and depth unique to fine rubies. Synthetic or lab grown rubies may mimic the color, but they do not carry the same geological story or natural inclusions that confirm origin and natural growth, qualities many collectors value. Hardness wise, natural ruby is corundum with a rating of nine on the Mohs scale, making it far more durable than garnet and tourmaline, and second only to diamond for daily wear. This combination of vivid color, excellent polish, responsible enhancement, and Mozambique origin gives this small but remarkable stone a presence that belies its size. If you are seeking a piece that balances minimalist design with genuine natural character, this bracelet showcases the best of what The Natural Ruby Company represents, and we are happy to answer any questions or provide additional images or details.
