Introducing an exquisite vintage ring from the 1990s featuring a captivating 0.93-carat oval-cut natural ruby as its centerpiece, beautifully accentuated by 18 single-cut diamonds. The ruby exhibits a remarkable fluorescence, emanating a radiant glow in sunlight that harmonizes flawlessly with the diamond halo. This stunning ring is an ideal choice for a memorable proposal or as a cherished gift for someone born in the month of July, symbolizing their birthstone with utmost elegance.
Ruby is considered one of the "Big 3" gemstones and part of the corundum gem family. The rich, bluish-red hue that rubies are known for comes from trace amounts of chromium in the crystal lattice. Rubies are associated with the three fire signs of the zodiac and are also said to have healing properties for your entire system. Ancient peoples believed that wearing ruby would ward off all illnesses and diseases. It has also been described as a stone "of nobility," which will help overcome conflict or controversy, and was typically worn by knights.
The ring is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The ruby is not chipped, cracked, or loose in the setting and only displays tiny nicks on the facet junctions under powerful magnification. The diamonds are single-cut, natural, and measure 1mm each. The 14K white gold has a few fine lines and marks but nothing noticeable or distracting. The band is stamped 14K, and a GIA Graduate Gemologist tested the gemstones. The ruby was heat-treated, which is a common treatment on commercial jewelry.
The ring is slightly smaller than 4.75 and can be sized. The ruby measures 6.9mm x 5.2mm x 3.1mm and weighs 0.93 carats. The diamonds each weigh 0.005 carats for 0.09 carats total. The ring weighs 1.57 grams, and the box is for display only.
