1.04 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

If you are searching for the perfect center stone that combines classic elegance with collector quality, this transparent 1.04 carat emerald cut red ruby is an ideal solution offered by The Natural Ruby Company. The stone measures 7.08 x 5.00 x 2.47 mm, presenting the clean geometry of an emerald cut that flatters both vintage and contemporary settings, and it displays vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that maximizes brilliance and saturation. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean to the eye while retaining the natural internal character that confirms its origin. Heat treated to enhance stability and color, and sourced from Mozambique, this ruby is a rare find for an engagement ring that must stand up to daily wear or for a collector who seeks a documented and attractive natural specimen.

The inclusions in this ruby are not flaws to hide, they are the stone signature that makes each gem unique, and they add provenance and personality to the piece. Typical Mozambican rubies often contain minute pinpoint crystals, delicate silk like rutile threads, and tiny natural growth irregularities, and in this stone those features appear as subtle internal textures that interact with light to deepen the red and to create a living depth that changes with viewing angle. Under magnification these internal fingerprints become clear identifiers that gemologists use to trace origin and treatment, and to reassure buyers of natural formation. For daily wear I recommend a secure setting such as a low profile bezel or a protective halo to showcase the emerald cut table while guarding the girdle, and routine gentle cleaning to preserve brilliance. At The Natural Ruby Company we disclose the heat treatment and document provenance, and we are ready to help you select a setting or provide certification so your purchase becomes a confident and lasting choice.
