18K yellow gold ring with ruby ​​and diamonds

Introducing our enchanting yellow gold rosette with diamonds and ruby, a warm piece with soft, curved lines reminiscent of the Art Deco style and pieces from the 1940s. Channel-set, 20 brilliant-cut diamonds surround the rim-set cabochon ruby, creating a harmonious and luminous contrast in this essential piece that stands out not only for its elegance but also for its exceptional comfort. Of modern manufacture, the creation of this ring can be placed from the 60s onwards, however it is possible that it is later, for example from the 80s since from the 60s onwards jewelry became totally eclectic and, in the same way that it experimented with new materials and concepts, it also returned to the past as inspiration.

Not all gems extracted from the earth are of the same quality, and this isn’t always a disadvantage; it can also be a treasure. Ruby, the red variety of corundum, is a rare mineral, rarer than diamond, and finding quality specimens of a certain size is quite difficult. All natural rubies have inclusions or “imperfections,” which consist of the presence of one or more minerals, usually small, within them. Some of the most characteristic inclusions in rubies are rutile needle inclusions and colored impurities. When these needles, known as “silk,” are perpendicular to the axis, it is possible to observe an optical phenomenon known as Asterism or chatoyancy , commonly known as “star” and “cat’s eye,” consists of an optical phenomenon in which a star-shaped reflection or a band of light is observed moving when the cabochon-cut stone is rotated.

One of the terms used to describe a ruby ​​that, due to inclusions, is not completely transparent is “massive,” a term also used to describe the rough stone and/or one accompanied by zoisite. In jewelry, this type of ruby ​​is commonly found in a wide variety of pieces, from bohemian necklaces and Indian-style silver rings to significant gold pieces like our ring. The range of tones and levels of transparency varies considerably, and as with our ring, the most beautiful specimens are reserved for the finest pieces.

Elegant and sophisticated but with a bohemian touch, this ring is a versatile piece, perfect for an important occasion, ideal for every day. Crafted in 18k gold, with a 2.40 ct ruby ​​cabochon and 20 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.90 carats, this ring is a refined piece of guaranteed quality and timeless design.

The ring size is 10/50 and it weighs 8 grams.
