0.44 CT Round Ruby Faceted Ring in 18kt White Gold

David Stern Jewelers proudly presents an exquisite handcrafted 0.44 CT Round Faceted Ruby Couture Ring, a distinctive piece personally created by master jeweler David Stern in the early 2010s. This one-of-a-kind Ring exemplifies the artistry and precision that defines true custom jewelry craftsmanship, meticulously set in lustrous 18kt White Gold.

A Personal Creation with Proven Provenance: This remarkable ring was handcrafted by David Stern himself during the early 2010s, a period when he was creating some of his most refined custom pieces. Unlike mass-produced jewelry, this ring bears the hallmark of individual artisan craftsmanship, with each element carefully selected and set by hand. The personal attention to detail that David Stern invested in this piece ensures superior quality and a level of craftsmanship that is increasingly rare in today’s jewelry market.

Premium Gemstone Selection: At the heart of this couture ring sits a vibrant 0.44-carat round faceted natural ruby displaying a rich, captivating red color with good clarity. Rubies are among the most precious colored gemstones, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale and symbolizing passion, protection, and prosperity throughout history. The round brilliant cut maximizes the ruby’s natural brilliance and fire, creating exceptional light performance that captures attention from every angle.

Brilliant Diamond Accents: Complementing the central ruby are carefully selected round diamonds totaling 0.31 carats, each chosen for their exceptional quality. These accent diamonds boast G color grading—considered near-colorless and representing excellent value in the upper tier of diamond color grades—and VS-2 clarity, meaning any inclusions are minor and difficult to detect even under 10x magnification. The diamonds create a stunning halo or accent design that enhances the ruby’s vibrant red hue while adding sophisticated sparkle and dimension to the overall composition.

Luxurious 18kt White Gold Setting: The ring is expertly crafted in 18kt white gold, a premium alloy containing 75% pure gold combined with durable white metals and finished with a rhodium plating for lasting brilliance. This high-karat white gold provides both the strength needed to securely hold precious gemstones and the lustrous, silvery-white appearance that beautifully complements both the ruby and diamond accents. At 3.3 grams, the ring has a satisfying weight that speaks to its quality construction and substantial precious metal content.

Complete Specifications: With a total carat weight of 0.75 ct tw combining the ruby and diamond content, this ring offers impressive presence and sparkle. The balanced proportions ensure comfortable everyday wear while maintaining the visual impact expected from fine couture jewelry.
