This stunning natural unheated untreated marquise cut ruby and sparkly diamond 14K gold three row ring.
The seven marquise cut natural unheated rubies are a unique color. Outside a purplish definite ruby red can be seen in shady conditions and in direct sunshine a more pinkish purplish red can be seen. The color of these pretty unheated rubies is very unique and so lovely!
To either side of these precious untreated marquise cut rubies there are two rows of fine white diamonds.
The average measurement of the seven rubies is 4.2mm x 2.1mm x 1.2mm and each weigh on average 8 points.
This makes the total weight of precious gem quality rubies in this pretty ring 0.56 carats.
In total the diamond accents weigh 12 points and are VS/SI H/I in color.
The total ruby and diamond weight then is 0.78 carats.
This ruby and diamond band measures approximately 5/16" long down the finger and has a low profile of just 1/4" rise off the finger making it perfect as an everyday ring (7.5mm, 5.6mm).
Inside the shank there is a 14K metal fineness stamp. Professional testing confirms the same. This pretty ring weighs 3 grams. It is a size 4 3/4 US and can be resized within a wide range of sizes.
This ruby ring is a timeless classic, a play on the eternal theme of love for yesterday, today and tomorrow, a three row band of beautiful and elegant proportions. I adore the use of the wonderful unheated marquise cut rubies for the central row of the ring making this ring a beautiful twist on a very iconic 3 row ring design. The low profile make it a perfect choice for a unique ruby wedding or engagement ring or for a ruby anniversary celebration!

The photos form part of the description. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings.
Comment:
Unfortunately, in the last two decades many rubies seen in modern jewelry and rubies set as replacements in vintage and antique jewelry have had the color induced by high temperature heating in chemicals such as beryllium. This is called diffusion treatment and includes surface diffusion, bulk diffusion, lattice diffusion and deep diffusion. There are also sapphires treated heavily with beryllium treatment to imitate rubies. In recent years rubies have been clarity enhanced by filling any fissures or cracks with molten lead glass, sometimes the glass is colored as well, with time the filler falls out or goes cloudy ruining the stone. Polymer resins can be used in a similar way. Oftentimes this clarity enhancement may appear on certificates as the note(s) “residues” or “minor residues” or perhaps “foreign substance”. Colored coatings can be applied to the back of a ruby. These treatments are unacceptable and such treated stones are of very low value. We do not sell rubies with these treatments. The unique color beautiful rubies in this ring are unheated and untreated making this ring an ideal choice for a special ruby ring to hand down in the family for generations to come.
