18K white, red, and green diamond, ruby, and emerald ring

This contrarié ring in 750/000, 18-karat yellow gold represents a refined example of artisanal manufacturing and innovative design.
Its lightweight wire construction is designed to ensure an airy yet sturdy, perfectly balanced structure.
The gems, set in two opposing patterns, give the ring an elegant symmetry that immediately captures attention.

**Description of the stones**
At the center of this ring we find two natural round diamonds with an **old mine ** cut, which stand out for their characteristic light given by the deeper facets compared to modern cuts.
This cut, typical of the 18th and 19th centuries, gives diamonds a softer, warmer brilliance.

The first diamond, with a diameter of **5.04 mm** and an estimated weight of **0.60 carats**, has a clarity of **SI2** and a coloration of **H/I**, while the second, with a diameter of **5.54 mm** and an estimated weight of **0.70 carats**, has a clarity of **SI1** and a coloration of **G/H**.
Both gems do not fluoresce under UV light (366 nm) and are characterized by thin girdles and faceted apices, hallmarks of their origin and vintage workmanship.

The ring is further enriched by three **natural rubies**, corundum variety, of a pinkish red color and round faceted cut, for a total weight of **0.20 carats**, and by three **natural emeralds**, beryl variety, of a saturated green and also round faceted cut, with a total weight of **0.15 carats**.
Rubies are distinguished by their discreet transparency, while emeralds show a more limited transparency, but enhance the chromatic character of the ring.
