18K white gold ring with ruby and diamonds

We present our magnificent white gold rosette with diamonds and ruby, a stunning, luxurious and sophisticated piece with an impressive central ruby of 6.30 cts that captivates by its size and color. Surrounded by two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds, the oval-cut ruby draws the eye to the center of the jewel and tells us, through its inclusions, of the fascinating and mysterious history of its formation.

Formed in processes lasting millions of years under the earth’s crust, the ruby owes its name to its color and comes from the Latin rubĕus which means red and owes its color to the presence of chromium. Along with the diamond, the sapphire and the emerald, it has been a highly valued gem since ancient times and is considered one of the four precious stones par excellence. The shades of ruby range from deep red to dark red, and you can find gems with pink, orange or purple hues. Rare, especially in gem quality specimens of a certain size, ruby has a variable transparency and a crystalline luster. The most expensive and appreciated rubies are those from Myanmar or Burma followed by those from Thailand and the one known as “Sangre de Paloma” or “Sangre de pigeon” is one of the most valued for its intense red color. Natural ruby has inclusions and its color and the appearance of the inclusions can be improved by heat treatment.

At the jewelry level, the Rosette design consists of a central gemstone surrounded by a band or more of smaller ones and is a timeless classic that never goes out of fashion and can have many variations. In the case of our ring, the square shape of the band and its rectangular design give the piece a modern touch that breaks with tradition, while the two rows of diamonds surrounding the ruby create a balanced and glamorous set appropriate for any type of special occasion, whether it is an elegant dinner or a formal meeting. Surrounded by 52 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total of 2.16 cts, the oval-cut ruby set in prongs stands out even more thanks to the sophisticated combination with white gold and diamonds creating a unique and sophisticated visual harmony and the whole results in a jewel with a distinguished touch that does not go unnoticed.

The size of the ring is 18/58 and it weighs 10 grams.
