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

This delicate 14K yellow gold bracelet measures 7 inches in length, featuring a single, bezel set, round Mozambique ruby that commands attention despite its modest size. The ruby weighs 0.45 carat and measures 4.50 by 4.50 by 2.85 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant faceting that maximizes sparkle and depth. At eye level the clarity is graded very slightly included, the polish is excellent, and the color intensity is vivid, attributes that combine to give the stone a lively, saturated red that reads richly against the warm gold. The ruby is natural and heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that refines color while retaining the gem's authentic origin and character.

When compared to more common red gemstones the difference is clear, garnet typically displays a darker, more brownish red and lacks the same level of brilliance and refractive sparkle that a well cut ruby produces, red spinel can show appealing color but often lacks the ruby's depth and market recognition, and tourmaline tends to sit lower on the hardness scale and can exhibit more color zoning. Synthetic rubies can mimic color and clarity, but they do not carry the natural origin story or the microscopic inclusions that confirm a gem as natural, inclusions that many collectors value as a fingerprint of the earth. Simulants such as cubic zirconia and red glass display high initial flash but they lack the refractive index, durability, and aging grace of a natural corundum ruby, and they will not patina or hold value in the same way. The natural Mozambique origin offers a combination of vivid saturation and classic corundum toughness, making this ruby both beautiful and practical for everyday wear.

At The Natural Ruby Company we present this piece as a study in understated luxury, the bezel setting and mixed brilliant cut protect the stone while allowing it to sing, the 14K yellow gold chain keeps the look refined and wearable for any occasion. This bracelet makes an excellent gift for a milestone, or a subtle signature piece for daily wear, and because the ruby is natural and responsibly sourced, customers who appreciate provenance and lasting value will find this bracelet especially rewarding.
