0.80 Ct. Ruby from Madagascar

A single heartbeat of the earth rests in your palm, a ruby born beneath Madagascan skies, offered to you by The Natural Ruby Company. This transparent 0.80 carat oval gemstone measures 6.45 x 4.93 x 2.95 mm, and its shape is a classical whisper of eternity, rounded and elongated like a promise. The mixed brilliant cut brings a modern choreography to its facets, catching light and scattering it back in plum and rose notes, while an excellent polish lends each plane a mirror calm. The color intensity is dark, a velvet crimson that reads as regal at first glance, and the stone has been heat treated to lift and stabilize that rich tone, a standard and respected enhancement in fine rubies. The clarity grade is included, evaluated at eye level, and those natural inclusions sit like secret handwriting inside the gem, a reminder that true beauty comes from depth as much as from surface radiance.

Consider how size and clarity combine to elevate this ruby into a statement piece, how the 0.80 carat weight and the generous face up proportions give it presence that reaches across a room. Measured at 6.45 x 4.93 mm, the oval silhouette offers more visual spread than a round of the same weight, so when set in a center position the ruby reads larger and more commanding than its carat alone might suggest. The transparency allows light to penetrate and play within the stone despite included features, rendering a living inner glow that changes with movement and mood. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation, and the excellent polish ensures those flashes are crisp and musical. Together these qualities make this ruby ideal for a solitary setting that requires a hero, for a halo that frames its inner fire, or for a bespoke piece where the gem must speak for the whole design. The included clarity gives authenticity and story, while the overall cleanliness at eye level keeps the visual impact strong and uninterrupted.

Imagine this ruby cradled in a simple bezel or held in six prongs, a solitary red sun at the center of a ring, or suspended as a pendant over the heart, catching morning light and embered sunset alike. For metal, warm hues like 18 karat yellow or rose gold will unite with the dark red to create a vintage romanticism, while 18 karat white gold or platinum will offer contrast and modern drama, allowing the color to sing against cool tones. The Natural Ruby Company invites you to picture custom settings where the dimensions of 6.45 x 4.93 x 2.95 mm are respected and celebrated, and where the heat treatment and included clarity are embraced as part of the authentic life story of this Madagascan treasure. Care is simple, clean with mild soap and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and high heat, and consult your jeweler for secure mounting. If you seek a gem that is both an heirloom and a statement, that balances presence with intimacy, this ruby will answer, its dark crimson whisper turning to a confident song whenever it catches the light.
