Overview

The ruby and diamond line bracelet is one of the most enduring formats in fine jewellery, and this example delivers it at genuine scale. Twenty emerald-cut rubies totalling 16.71 carats are arranged in an unbroken alternating line with 20 round brilliant diamond spacers, the deep red and white creating a high-contrast pattern that works whether worn formally or casually. The emerald cut is well-chosen for the rubies - the step-cut faceting emphasises body colour rather than dispersion, letting the deep moderate red of the rubies read clearly and consistently down the length of the bracelet.



The colour is a deep, slightly purplish-red characteristic of Thailand-origin rubies - not the vivid fluorescent red of top-grade Burmese material, but a rich, dark, attractive red with good consistency across all 20 stones. Standard clarity enhancement (heat treatment, 1+ observed) is applied - this is industry-standard for virtually all commercial rubies and improves colour and clarity appearance. The rubies are moderately included, which is typical for their grade.



From the photos, the bracelet is in excellent condition throughout. The alternating pattern is unbroken with all 40 stones present. Four-claw settings are neat and uniform. The white gold surface is bright and well-polished. The inside of the box clasp is stamped "585 RU 16.71ct D 1.15ct" confirming metal purity and stone weights. The concealed box clasp with double figure-8 safety catches provides appropriate security for a bracelet of this value. An independent insurance valuation (Platinum Jewellery Valuations, FGAA appraiser, August 2025) assessed replacement value at AUD $57,000.
