1.12 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This transparent cushion shape ruby from The Natural Ruby Company weighs 1.12 carats and measures 6.19 x 5.46 x 3.75 mm, offering compact dimensions that suit a range of fine jewelry applications. The stone displays a pinkish red hue with vivid color intensity, a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth, and an excellent polish that enhances light return. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating a clean face up appearance well suited to open settings, and the ruby has been heat treated, a standard enhancement that improves color uniformity while remaining stable for everyday wear. Origin is Mozambique, a source known for high quality gem material, and the combination of color, cut, and clarity makes this ruby a versatile and enduring choice for bespoke pieces.

When considering customization, the cushion outline and balanced proportions adapt readily to multiple mounting styles, including classic four or six prong solitaires that showcase the table, bezel settings that emphasize durability while softening edges, and halo settings that add brilliance and perceived size through diamond accents. The mixed brilliant facet arrangement reads particularly well in luminous designs that allow light to enter from the pavilion, so open backed pendants and earrings will maximize color saturation, while a low profile ring mounting will preserve the stone height for daily comfort. Three stone and vintage inspired settings make use of the cushion silhouette to create symmetrical compositions, and asymmetric or modern frameless designs benefit from the stone dimensions and clean pavilion. Metal choice will influence the perceived tone, yellow gold warming the pinkish red, rose gold complementing the pink cast, and platinum or white gold emphasizing contrast and fire. The ruby depth and pavilion angle, indicated by the 3.75 mm depth, support secure prong placement and ensure good stability when set in settings that require precise seat cutting.

Our team at The Natural Ruby Company can provide guidance on ideal mounting proportions, compatible side stone selections, and recommended metal choices to realize a custom design that leverages the ruby characteristics. Whether the intention is a signature engagement ring, a refined pendant, matched stud earrings, or an heirloom style piece, this Mozambique ruby offers the technical and aesthetic attributes to perform exceptionally across a wide spectrum of custom jewelry settings.
