1.00 Ct. Ruby from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When embarking on the journey to find the perfect gemstone, discerning buyers often prioritize a combination of exceptional weight, vibrant color, and remarkable clarity. Our 1.00 carat pear-shaped red ruby from The Natural Ruby Company epitomizes these sought-after qualities, positioning it as a distinguished choice among the myriad of options available in the market. At a weight of 1.00 carat, this ruby doesn't just meet the threshold for fine jewelry—it surpasses it, offering an unparalleled balance of visibility and elegance. This weight is significant because, in the realm of precious gems, the carat weight directly correlates with both the gem's presence and its valuation. The 1.00 carat dimension grants this ruby an air of substantiality while maintaining an exquisite delicacy on any piece of jewelry.

While many rubies exist, few can boast dimensions so perfectly proportioned as 7.26 x 5.12 x 3.29 mm, a factor that provides this gemstone with its distinctive shape and enhances its overall allure. Unlike smaller gemstones, whose details might be easily overlooked, this ruby commands attention with its gracefully elongated pear shape. The advantage of this specific shape lies in its ability to elongate the finger when set in rings, while also providing a unique silhouette when featured in pendants or earrings. In contrast to more traditional round or oval cuts, the pear shape introduces an additional layer of sophistication and rarity, further elevating its status among collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike.

Our ruby’s mixed brilliant cut goes beyond mere aesthetics, delivering exceptional brilliance and fire. This particular cut maximizes the stone's interaction with light, reflecting a captivating radiance that surpasses other cuts. The facets are skillfully arranged to enhance the gemstone's natural beauty and to emphasize its vivid red color intensity, a hue cherished across the globe for its passionate and regal connotations. While many gemstones offer a range of colors, the rich and lively red of our Ceylon ruby stands as a testament to Mother Nature’s finest expressions. This vivid color is highly prized, as it signifies not only beauty but also a higher tier among its peers, making our ruby an exceptional investment for the future.

Adding to its allure is the stone's clarity grade of very slightly included, a testament to its purity. Rubies, known for their inherent inclusions, become all the rarer and more precious as their clarity improves. At The Natural Ruby Company, we pride ourselves on sourcing gemstones that are as close to perfection as possible, allowing the natural beauty of our rubies to shine through effortlessly. In comparison to ruby counterparts with lesser clarity, our gem maintains an immaculate appearance even when evaluated at eye level, establishing its prominence in the realm of fine gemstones.
