Description
This is a fabulous 18k solid gold ring with a completely natural (unheated) bright red ruby. The piece has what I call a crown pattern around the bezel and fancy details on the band.
The ruby comes from the Winza mine in Tanzania and has not been enhanced or heated like most rubies and sapphires. It is super bright even in subdued light with good clarity. There are only minor visible imperfections which is uncommon for natural untreated ruby.
The ring at its widest point is a little over 3/8” wide (at the front – top to bottom) and the band is approx. 3/16” at the back. See photo with older U.S. dime for size/scale.
