19.48 Ct. Ruby and Natural Diamond Antique Style Necklace, 18K White Gold

This exquisite necklace from The Natural Ruby Company showcases nine rich red oval cabochon cut rubies, weighing a combined 19.48 carats, each chosen for eye clean clarity and vivid color saturation, set with precision in 18K white gold. The smooth cabochon surfaces allow the intense red tone to glow softly, creating a warm, elegant line across the neckline. Complementing the rubies are 209 white round brilliant natural diamonds, totaling 1.86 carats, graded VS2 Very Slightly Included, G color, with color saturation of g, which add a delicate, scintillating contrast without overpowering the rubies. The balance between substantial ruby weight and the refined sparkle of the diamonds gives this piece a versatile beauty that reads equally well with tailored evening wear or elevated daytime attire, while the 18K white gold provides a cool, modern frame that enhances the vivid red of the stones.

Every gem in this necklace is carefully matched and set to ensure comfort, symmetry, and lasting wearability, with each ruby positioned to maximize its tone and surface luster, and the diamonds arranged to accentuate the rhythm of the design. As a gemstone specialist I can tell you that the cabochon cut emphasizes color and presence, making each ruby a focal point, while the numerous small diamonds provide movement and light, elevating the ensemble without detracting from the rubies central appeal. The craftsmanship behind the piece reflects The Natural Ruby Companys commitment to quality, from stone selection through finishing, and we encourage clients to experience the look in person or request additional photos and details. For care, I recommend gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners for cabochon set pieces if there is any doubt, and professional inspection periodically to ensure settings remain secure and stones retain their full brilliance.
