This estate ruby ring is crafted in and engraved 14k white gold, weighs 6.1g and measures 12mm wide and 5mm deep. Resplendent in an accoutrement of distinctly faceted, vividly-colored rubies and complementing diamond accents, this estate ring of enriched aesthetic comprises a trefoil assemblage of rubies appreciatively aligned in parallel rows. A trio of tapering, brightly colored baguette rubies measuring 4mm long and 2.5mm wide is flanked by six oval-faceted rubies, each measuring 4.75mm long and 3.75mm wide complemented by a pair of matching grade baguette rubies at both finials adorning the center row. These colorful baguette rubies weigh 0.72cts and the oval-faceted rubies weigh 1.32cts, all graded 'red with scarlet overtones' and 'good' clarity mounted in graceful elevation within contoured and floating bezel settings. This eye-catching opulence of enchanting corundum is vertically embraced by a dual outer row of well-matched channel-set French square-cut rubies cumulatively weighing 1.42cts bringing the total ruby weight to almost 3.50cts. Complemented by 0.12cts of shoulder-mounted single-cut diamonds graded I color and SI3 clarity, this striking ring is accentuated by finely mille grained contours throughout. Substantial, immaculately forked and bejeweled shoulders descend diminutively to merge into a svelte white gold band and a sizeable shank.

For thousands of years, the ruby has been considered one of the most valuable gemstones, originally deriving from India, the classical country of rubies. In Sanskrit, this gemstone of overwhelming brilliance is named 'ratnaraj' translated as 'King of Gemstones'. Whenever a spectacular ruby crystal was discovered and reported to the Emperor, he would send notables to receive and welcome the precious new gemstone in appropriate style. Ruby is the red variety of the corundum family, one of the hardest minerals of which includes sapphires in a multitude of colors. This magnificent red variety of corundum primarily consists of aluminum oxide and chrome, the latter being the element awarding ruby its wonderful color originating from deep inside the earth's core. Rubies may show very different shades of red depending on their origin, the most notable being Burmese rubies, indicating the luxurious blood red color. Ruby occurrences exist in Vietnam, Ceylon, Northern Pakistan, Cashmere, Nepal and Afghanistan. Ruby is the perfect symbol of powerful feelings and a ring set with a precious ruby symbolizes the passionate and enduring love between two people.
