1.12 Ct. Pinkish Red Ruby from Mozambique

This 1.12 carat cushion shape pinkish red ruby, measuring 6.19 x 5.46 x 3.75 millimeters, is a finely faceted gem that exemplifies the qualities an educated buyer will recognize and prize. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, a layout that balances large pavilion facets for depth with sparkling crown facets for fire, resulting in lively light return and an appealing blend of brilliance and color saturation. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the gem s transparency or its visual impact in mounted jewelry. The color is vivid in intensity, a key driver of value in rubies, exhibiting a desirable pinkish red tone that is both vibrant and versatile for contemporary or classic settings. The polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and an overall bright presentation that enhances the stone s presence on the finger or in a pendant.
