1.01 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

One beautiful transparent AGL certified Red 1.01 carat emerald cut ruby from Mozambique, makes an immediate statement of refined taste and absolute presence, presented by The Natural Ruby Company. At 6.72 x 4.45 x 3.36 mm, this emerald cut gem features the elongated, architectural lines that are the hallmark of classical elegance, while its vivid color intensity bathes the stone in a deep, pure crimson that holds the eye. The gem is evaluated as eye clean at eye level, an attribute that allows its color and cut to take center stage without distraction, and its excellent polish ensures each step facet sings with a composed, sophisticated radiance. Heat treated to enhance stability and tone, this ruby carries the provenance of Mozambique, a source known for producing richly hued rubies that are both rare and desirable, and it arrives with AGL certification to attest to its natural origin and treatment history, a detail that underscores its value for the discerning collector.

In design, an emerald cut ruby such as this reads as modern refinement and old world glamour at once, its linear planes reflecting light with a cool clarity that frames the color like a museum worthy study. Set alone as a low profile solitaire in platinum, the stone becomes an emblem of quiet confidence, its red depth emphasized by the cool white metal, while an 18k rose gold setting will coax out the warmer notes within the crimson, creating a sensuous, skin flattering glow. Consider a bezel setting for an understated, architectural look that protects the girdle and highlights the gem as an object of design, or choose a four prong mount to allow maximum light to play through the step facets, giving movement to the color as the hand moves. The rectangular symmetry of the emerald cut lends itself to elongated ring bands, to slender settings that lengthen the finger, and to pendant mounts that present the stone like a jewel in a necklace repertoire, every angle composed, every plane intentional.

When composing a custom piece around this ruby, the right companions will amplify its allure rather than compete with it. For a timeless and luminous contrast, pair the center ruby with tapered baguette diamonds on either side, the clean geometry of the baguettes echoing the emerald cut, the white fire of the diamonds lifting the ruby without overwhelming its sumptuous red. A halo of small brilliant diamonds will translate the step cut into a halo of scintillation, offering a modern twist on classic glamour that is perfect for an engagement ring or an elevated pendant. For a richer color narrative, set the ruby against warm champagne diamonds and a band of pavé diamonds, the soft gold reflections and gentle sparkle creating an intimate, vintage inspired aesthetic. For those drawn to color, a pair of deep blue sapphires on the shoulders will create a noble trinity of hues, the blue enhancing the ruby color by contrast, while soft pink sapphires or spinels can craft a tonal, fashion forward palette that reads as feminine and curated. In cufflinks or a signet style creation, allow the emerald cut ruby to sit within a geometric platinum frame, accented by a line of micro set diamonds that catch light with each gesture, demonstrating how a single superb gem transforms everyday ritual into an occasion.
