0.45 Ct. Ruby Bezel Necklace, 14K Yellow Gold

This 14K yellow gold necklace measures 18 inches in length, and at its heart sits a single, luminous 0.45 carat round Mozambique ruby, set with meticulous attention to detail by our master jewelers at The Natural Ruby Company. From the moment the selected ruby is received, each step of the setting process is executed by hand, beginning with a precision fit into a custom formed bezel that cradles the gem while preserving its fire and brilliance. The bezel is formed to the exact proportions of the stone, the seat is milled to match the ruby dimensions of 4.50 x 4.50 x 2.85 millimeters, the mixed brilliant cut facets are respected to allow optimal light return, and then the gold is carefully burnished and polished to a mirror finish so the metal flows seamlessly into the stone edge. The chain attachments are soldered and hand finished at both sides of the setting so the pendant sits balanced at the collarbone, the low profile bezel protecting the crown and girdle while allowing the table and facets to catch and reflect light with a consistently vivid presence.

The ruby itself is a transparent, mixed brilliant cut gemstone with a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and excellent polish, heat treated to enhance its natural hue and sourced from Mozambique for its remarkable red saturation. In hand the gem reads lively and deep, and the bezel setting we choose enhances durability for everyday wear while maximizing the visible surface that reveals the stone’s internal fire. Our craftsmen inspect the gem and the mount repeatedly, checking facet alignment, secure seating, and finish quality, then perform a final polish and quality control evaluation before the necklace is released. When you choose this piece, you receive not only a beautifully colored ruby and a finely wrought 14K yellow gold chain, but also the assurance of careful, artisanal setting by The Natural Ruby Company, a commitment to thoughtful sourcing and enduring design, and a piece meant to be worn and admired daily, while protecting and showcasing the natural beauty of the ruby.
