70.80ctw Ruby Cabochon, 4.10ctw VS1-SI1/G-H Diamond and 18K White Gold 18" Dual-Strand Necklace - THIS ITEM WILL COME WITH A $120,000 INSURANCE VALUATION REPORT. A striking and richly colored statement piece, this elegant dual-strand necklace is crafted in 18K white gold and showcases an impressive total of approximately 70.80 carats of luminous ruby cabochons accented by fiery white diamonds. The design balances bold gemstone presence with refined symmetry, creating a luxurious composition that drapes beautifully along the neckline. The necklace is composed of two parallel strands of polished oval ruby cabochons displaying a vivid crimson to deep raspberry hue. The cabochon cutting style enhances the gemstones' natural richness and internal glow, giving the rubies a smooth, lustrous surface that contrasts beautifully with the brilliance of the surrounding diamonds. Together, the rubies total approximately 70.80 carats and form a continuous ribbon of saturated color across both strands. Separating the ruby cabochons are sleek diamond-set links featuring baguette-cut diamonds that provide clean architectural lines and flashes of crisp brilliance. These diamonds are complemented by additional round brilliant-cut diamonds incorporated into the chain, bringing the total diamond weight to approximately 4.10 carats. The diamonds display bright VS1-SI1 clarity and G-H color, adding refined sparkle without detracting from the vivid rubies. The twin strands converge at an elegant diamond-set clasp, completing the necklace with both security and visual continuity. Crafted in polished 18K white gold, the mounting enhances the gemstones' color while providing a sophisticated and durable structure. With its substantial ruby weight, classic cabochon cutting, and refined diamond accents, this exceptional necklace presents a timeless yet distinctive high-jewelry design suited for collectors and formal occasions alike.
