Vedic Ruby Necklace 1.22 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This necklace is executed in 18K yellow gold and centers on a GRS certified natural red ruby weighing 1.22 carats, presented in a cushion shape with dimensions of 7.22 by 5.98 by 2.98 millimeters. The stone is cut to a mixed brilliant scheme, combining a brilliant facet pattern on the crown with a precision faceted pavilion to optimize both scintillation and color saturation. At eye level the stone reads as eye clean, meaning no inclusions are visible without magnification, and the material exhibits vivid color saturation with an excellent polish across facet surfaces. The mixed brilliant treatment in a cushion outline produces a controlled table and crown angle relationship that concentrates the intense red face up while preserving the lively, multifaceted return that buyers expect from a finely cut gem. The absence of any enhancement is of particular technical importance, since the stone’s color and transparency are entirely natural attributes attributable to its Mozambique origin, as documented by the GRS report.

When compared to other rubies on the market this specimen distinguishes itself along two principal axes, clarity and color. Many rubies, including commonly available heated stones and fracture or glass filled material, achieve eye appeal through treatments that alter diffusion or fill cavities, but those processes often reduce transparency and create localized windows or unnatural flashes under directional light. By contrast this Mozambique ruby combines transparency with vivid saturation, which means light penetrates the crown, interacts with internal color centers, and is returned as a uniform red across the table rather than as patchy or brownish flashes. Compared with typical commercial rubies from other origins, which can display moderate to strong inclusions or uneven color zoning, this stone’s eye clean grade removes the visual noise that otherwise scatters light and dulls hue intensity. Technically, the clarity allows full advantage of the mixed brilliant geometry, so facet junctions remain crisp, contrast patterns are clean, and the overall optic effect is an even, deep red that reads consistently in varying lighting conditions.

The setting and execution of the piece further reinforce the gemological qualities of the ruby. The 18K yellow gold mounting is engineered to minimally obscure the pavilion while providing secure retention, enabling maximum light interaction with the girdle and pavilion facets. The warm tone of the gold complements the red saturation, subtly enhancing apparent warmth and depth without altering the stone’s natural color. Craftsmanship is evident in the polish and symmetry, where precise facet alignment maintains consistent light return across the crown and avoids crown windowing or pavilion leakage. From a technical valuation perspective a 1.22 carat, eye clean, unenhanced ruby with vivid saturation and GRS documentation represents a rare intersection of size, clarity, and natural color, attributes that materially differentiate it from treated stones and many origin typical examples. For clients seeking a ruby whose face up color, facet execution, and provenance are verifiable and uncompromised, The Natural Ruby Company presents this necklace as a refined choice, and we are available to provide the full GRS report, loupe grade images, and additional technical photographs on request.
