0.30 Ct. Ruby and Natural Diamond Accent Stones Pendant, 18K White & Yellow

This exquisite pendant from The Natural Ruby Company centers on a transparent 0.30 carat oval mixed brilliant cut Mozambique ruby, measuring 4.85 x 3.85 x 2.15 mm, with vivid color intensity, a clarity grade of slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. The ruby is discreetly heat treated to enhance its natural tone, and it is cradled in warm 18K yellow gold prongs that lift the gem slightly above the surrounding setting. This elevated prong placement allows maximum light to enter through the pavilion and reflect back through the crown, amplifying the stone's depth and brilliance. The yellow gold prongs also introduce a subtle warmth that intensifies the ruby's red hue, while an open white gold gallery beneath the stone permits light to pass freely, ensuring lively scintillation from every angle. Around the center stone, a star-like halo composed of precisely placed mixed brilliant cut white diamonds creates dynamic contrast and mirror-like sparkle, drawing the eye to the ruby's rich color.

Twelve round mixed brilliant cut natural diamonds weighing a total of 0.17 carats with a clarity described as very, very slightly included and F color are set in 18K white gold in a tightly grouped shared prong and pavé arrangement that forms the points of the star, while an additional four round mixed brilliant cut natural diamonds weighing a total of 0.12 carats with a clarity grade of VVS1 and F color provide concentrated flashes of high-grade brilliance at the cardinal points. The white gold setting for these diamonds reflects and returns white light into the ruby, creating lively contrast against the yellow gold prongs. Micro prong work and careful spacing between diamonds allow each stone to breathe, limiting shadow and promoting maximum return of light. The dual metal scheme, meticulous setting techniques, and the mixed brilliant cuts of all stones work together to showcase the natural qualities of the gemstones, emphasizing fire, scintillation, and color. Finished with consummate craftsmanship and polished to a high luster, this pendant is a wearable expression of refined design and gemological sensitivity, ideal for gifting or daily elegance, and carries the assurance of quality from The Natural Ruby Company.
