0.45 Ct. Ruby Bezel Necklace, 14K Yellow Gold

The Natural Ruby Company presents a necklace that celebrates both the natural beauty of a fine ruby and the dedication of master goldsmiths who set it. This elegant pendant is crafted in 14K yellow gold, and measures eighteen inches in length, providing a classic and comfortable fit. At its heart sits a transparent round ruby weighing 0.45 carat, with dimensions of 4.50 x 4.50 x 2.85 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and brilliance. The stone displays vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, and its clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The ruby has been heat treated, and it originates from Mozambique. From the initial selection of the rough, through cutting and polishing, to the final setting, every step is managed with an artisan eye, ensuring that the ruby is presented in its most luminous state.

The setting itself demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship, with a smooth bezel that embraces the ruby in a secure and seamless frame. Each metal seat is hand formed to the exact profile of the gemstone, then refined with careful filing and polishing so that the gold and ruby meet with minimal metal and maximum light. The bezel is soldered and finished by hand, and small loops are integrated into the case to allow the fine gold chain to pass through without compromising the fluid movement of the pendant. Attention is paid to the orientation and balance of the stone, so it rests level and centered against the neckline. Final inspection includes a check of polish, symmetry, and the integrity of the setting, ensuring that the necklace will wear comfortably and securely for years to come. This piece embodies The Natural Ruby Company commitment to honest gemstones and exceptional hand finish, making it a timeless expression of craftsmanship and color.
