A Monumental Stone. An Unmistakable Presence.
Grand Purple Jade & Ruby Statement Ring in Solid 14K Yellow Gold
One of a Kind · Only One Available
At 17 × 23.5mm, this is not a gemstone that asks for attention — it commands it. A natural purple jade cabochon of exceptional scale sits elevated in a multi-prong setting of solid 14K yellow gold, its soft lavender surface catching light with the quiet depth of a stone that has nothing to prove. Twelve natural rubies cluster on each shoulder in tight formations, their vivid crimson flanking the jade like two small fires at the edge of a still lake. The ring weighs 11.58 grams. It is, in every dimension, a serious piece of fine jewellery. Understand why 14K gold is the right choice for substantial gemstone settings.
One of a Kind
This piece is singular in every sense. The jade, the proportions, the weight — none of it can be replicated once it is gone. This is not a catalogue piece. It is a specific object, existing once.
The Stone
The jade cabochon at the centre of this ring is not a feature of the design — it is the design. At 17 × 23.5mm it occupies the full width of the ring head, filling the finger with a dome of uninterrupted lavender stone. A cabochon cut — smooth, domed, polished without facets — is the traditional form for jade precisely because it honours the stone's natural character: its internal translucency, its surface texture, its quiet glow. Facets would interrupt that quality. The cabochon lets the stone speak entirely in its own language.
Scale & Proportions
To place 11.58 grams of solid 14K gold in context: most fine jewellery rings weigh between 3 and 6 grams. This ring is nearly twice that. The weight comes from the substantial multi-prong head required to hold a jade of this scale, and from the thick, comfortable shank that balances it. This is not a ring that sits lightly on the hand — it settles onto the finger with authority, and that physical presence is part of what makes it exceptional. Rings of this scale and material quality are produced today only in bespoke commissions, at considerably greater cost.
The Rubies
Twelve natural round rubies of approximately 2mm each — six per shoulder — are clustered in a tight formation that presses against the base of the jade on each side. The effect is of two concentrated bursts of red at the periphery of the stone, framing its lavender expanse without competing with it. Estimated total ruby weight: approximately 0.60 carats. All rubies are natural. The colour contrast between ruby and purple jade is one of the most considered pairings in the East Asian gemstone tradition — warmth against cool, fire against stillness. Understand what the 585 hallmark on the band confirms.

Care & Wear · Clean with a soft damp cloth only — no ultrasonic cleaners, no steam, no chemical solutions. Jade and rubies are both sensitive to prolonged chemical exposure and impact. Given the elevated cabochon height, take care when wearing alongside other rings to avoid contact between the stones. The multi-prong setting should be inspected periodically by a professional jeweller. The 14K yellow gold requires no replating. Read our complete fine jewellery care guide for full advice on caring for natural gemstone rings.
How does this ring differ from FJJDR002 — the other purple jade and ruby ring?
Both rings share the jade-and-ruby combination, but they are entirely different objects. FJJDR002 features a 14 × 18mm jade in an open gallery setting with ruby clusters visible from the side — a ring with architectural lightness. This ring (FJJDR003) is built around a 17 × 23.5mm cabochon in a closed, elevated multi-prong mount — a ring with pure monumental presence. The jade here is substantially larger, the gold weight is 11.58 grams versus 7.00 grams, and the overall character is more commanding and regal rather than sculptural and refined. They appeal to different wearers for different reasons. Browse our full fine jewellery collection.
What is a cabochon cut and why is it used for jade?
A cabochon is a gemstone shaped into a smooth, domed form without facets. Where faceted stones are cut to maximise light return through angled reflections, a cabochon reveals the stone's inherent character — its colour depth, internal translucency, and surface texture. Jade has been cut as a cabochon for thousands of years precisely because this form honours what jade actually is: a stone whose beauty is in its body, not its surface geometry. Faceting jade would interrupt the qualities that make it meaningful.
Is the jade natural and untreated?
The jade is natural. No treatment claims beyond what visual inspection confirms are made in this listing, as formal gemological certification for the stone is not available. Buyers who require certified documentation of treatment status should seek independent gemological assessment prior to purchase — which we recommend for any significant jade acquisition. The rubies are also natural; no grading claims are made beyond their natural status.
Is a ring of this scale comfortable to wear?
The 11.58 gram weight is substantial, and the elevated cabochon means the ring sits noticeably proud of the finger. For daily office wear, formal occasions, or statement dressing it is entirely appropriate. For manual work, cooking, gym use or sleep, we recommend removing it — both to protect the stone and the setting, and for comfort. The shank is rounded internally for comfortable extended wear, and the size UK O / US 7.5 suits a range of ring fingers with enough room that the stone does not feel tip-heavy once worn.
Why is only one available?
JewelHub sources fine jewellery as individual pieces, not production runs. This ring — this jade, in this mount, at this scale — exists exactly once. It will not be reordered, remade or restocked. A natural jade cabochon of 17 × 23.5mm with this tone and translucency is not a material that can simply be sourced again on request.
How do I care for this ring?
Clean with a soft damp cloth only. No ultrasonic cleaners, no steam, no chemicals. Given the elevated stone height, avoid wearing alongside other rings that might contact the jade during daily movement. Have the multi-prong setting checked by a fine jeweller periodically to confirm the prongs remain secure — particularly important for a stone of this size and weight. The 14K yellow gold requires no replating. For a full maintenance guide, visit our jewellery care guide.

Caring for Your Fine Gold Piece
14k and 18k gold is a precious metal investment. With proper care it holds its colour and quality indefinitely — fine gold does not tarnish, but it can scratch and dull without attention.
| Daily wear | Remove during heavy physical activity, cleaning, and gardening |
| Cleaning | Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, soft brush — rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth |
| Storage | Store separately — gold scratches easily when touching other metals |
| Professional care | Annual professional polish recommended for fine pieces |
| Avoid | Chlorine, bleach, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with stones |
