1.10 Ct. Ruby from Tanzania

When you are searching for a ruby that ends the quest for something rare, beautiful, and honest, you want more than a stone, you want a story and a partner who understands why this matters. The Natural Ruby Company brings you a transparent 1.10 carat, emerald cut pinkish red ruby that answers that call. This gem is for the person who wants an engagement ring that feels like a promise, for the collector who seeks a natural treasure that has retained its original character, and for the designer who needs a stone with both presence and practical dimensions. At 5.80 by 4.89 by 3.67 millimeters, this emerald cut ruby sits confidently on the hand, offering an elegant footprint that balances sparkle and sophistication. Its vivid color intensity catches the eye from across the room, and its excellent polish offers a mirror finish that gives life to the stepped facets. The clarity is rated slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a mark that speaks to authenticity and individuality rather than perfection, and the gem has received no enhancement, preserving the natural tale of light and mineral that formed it in the earth.

The journey of this ruby begins far from the showroom lights, in the weathered hills of Tanzania where the land yields its secrets to patient hands. Local miners working in small scale operations and family run claims carefully extract rough crystals from secondary deposits, often following rivers and panning rich alluvial gravels where rubies concentrate with other gemstones. Each rough is selected for potential, rounded by time and the elements into a form that hints at the color within. For this ruby, those early days of discovery determined its destiny. We work closely with trusted partners on the ground who respect the land and the people who live there, and who practice responsible sourcing that supports local communities. The raw crystal that became this pinkish red treasure was sorted by experienced eyes for clarity, color and structural integrity, then sent to our trusted cutter with instructions to honor the stone, not to force it into a shape that would lose its natural beauty.

The cutting process is where the raw personality of the ruby becomes refined art, and for this gem the chosen form is the emerald cut. The emerald cut gives a ruby a classical silhouette, emphasizing depth of color and a dramatic play of light across broad, elegant facets. Our cutter retained weight and maximized color saturation while creating clean, crisp lines that highlight the stone s vivid pinkish red hue. The finished dimensions are 5.80 by 4.89 by 3.67 millimeters and the weight is 1.10 carat, a size that reads substantial on a ring yet remains wearable every day. The clarity, described as slightly included at eye level, tells you that the stone is a natural ruby with internal characteristics that confirm its origin and identity. These inclusions are not flaws to hide, but fingerprints of nature that, when illuminated by the excellent polish, contribute to the stone s liveliness and depth. This ruby has received no enhancement, meaning no heat treatment, no glass filling, nothing to alter its authentic state. The vivid color intensity is the result of its natural composition and careful cutting, and the excellent polish ensures each facet returns light with a resonance that feels luxurious and honest.

Think of how this ruby will live on your hand or in your collection. The emerald cut shape lends itself beautifully to a variety of settings, from a timeless solitaire in a delicate prong mounting that displays the stone like a jewel of royalty, to a modern bezel for everyday wear that accentuates its clean lines while offering security. Designers will appreciate how the stone s proportions make it a strong center for three stone rings, halo settings that add fire while preserving the core color, or custom pieces where the pinkish red tone is paired with warm metals. Rose gold will amplify the soft warmth of the stone, yellow gold will deepen its classic richness, and platinum will present it with a contemporary, high contrast frame. On the finger, the ruby s transparency and step facets create a sophisticated presence rather than an overbearing flash, and the slight inclusions make each viewing a small discovery, as light and shadow play across the interior. For collectors who prize natural, untreated gems, this Tanzanian ruby offers both rarity and a tangible connection to place and process.
