1.02 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

This translucent heart shaped ruby weighs 1.02 carats and measures 5.73 by 5.79 by 3.37 mm, a compact and wonderfully wearable size for a pendant or a delicate ring, its soft pinkish red hue and intense color intensity give it a lively presence despite its modest dimensions. The stone has been fashioned as a cabochon, creating a smooth domed surface that enhances the rich color and invites a warm glow under light, polish is excellent which adds to its reflective appeal, and the clarity grade is included when evaluated at eye level, these natural inclusions are typical for a gem of this character and add to its individuality. This ruby is translucent rather than fully transparent, allowing light to permeate while maintaining a soothing, velvety appearance, there is no enhancement, and the natural origin is Mozambique, a region known for producing robust and attractive ruby material.
