1.15 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This exceptional GIA certified red ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is a rare combination of vivid color, clarity, and expert cutting, offered at 1.15 carats with dimensions of 7.08 x 5.09 x 2.93 millimeters. Compared with many market alternatives this Mozambique ruby stands out because the GIA certification removes uncertainty about authenticity and basic gemological qualities, which many uncertified stones lack. On the spectrum of natural rubies it delivers the kind of rich, pure red saturation that buyers often seek when comparing Mozambican material with classic sources. While Burmese rubies are famous for their pigeon blood color, they are increasingly scarce and command a premium, and while synthetic or glass filled rubies may imitate color they cannot match the transparency and refractive behavior of a natural, well cut gem. The clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level places this stone above the common commercial grade offerings, and the excellent polish ensures light moves through the gem cleanly, showing the depth of tone and the internal fire that makes a ruby truly captivating.

The emerald cut shape is a decisive advantage for collectors and designers who want a refined and architectural aesthetic that emphasizes color and clarity. Unlike brilliant cuts that maximize sparkle at the expense of showing true body color, the step facets of an emerald cut render the ruby with broad flashes of hue and a serene, elegant glow. This cut reveals the stone interior and allows the vivid red to present consistently under different lighting, a quality that can be lost in more heavily faceted shapes. For customers comparing shapes, the emerald cut offers a distinct, vintage inspired sophistication that works beautifully in solitaire settings where the gem is the sole star, and it also gives a modern edge when set east west in a minimalist band. Compared to cushions and ovals that can sometimes mask color with dispersed scintillation, this emerald cut ruby reads as a confident color statement, making it an excellent choice for centerpiece rings, pendant focal points, and bespoke signet or cufflink designs.

Customization versatility is where this ruby truly outperforms many other gems on the market, because the emerald cut proportions and clean clarity allow it to be adapted into a wide variety of jewelry settings without losing its character. In a solitaire ring, a delicate four or six prong mounting will maximize visible table area and emphasize the stone size, while a low bezel setting will protect the corners and make the piece ideal for everyday wear. A halo of fine white diamonds can amplify brilliance and size perception, creating a dramatic contrast that elevates the red center, and baguette side stones will echo the step cut geometry for a cohesive, architectural look. For a warmer signature, pair the ruby with rose gold which harmonizes with red tones, while yellow gold will reinforce vintage charm, and platinum or white gold will create a contemporary contrast that makes the ruby appear even more vivid. Beyond rings, the stone is an impeccable candidate for an elegant drop pendant, where the emerald cut will catch light with long flashes, or for asymmetric earrings where a companion diamond or sapphire can balance the composition. For men seeking refined color, this gemstone can be set into a custom signet or cufflink, lending masculine elegance through a clean emerald silhouette. The stone also adapts to multi stone arrangements, including three stone compositions and clustered vintage settings, thanks to its uniform color distribution and compact dimensions.

From a value and service perspective The Natural Ruby Company positions this ruby as a superior purchase in comparison to many off the shelf alternatives, because you receive a GIA report along with transparent information on enhancement, origin, and cut quality. Heat treatment is a commonly accepted and stable enhancement in the trade, and disclosure ensures you understand the treatment history while benefitting from improved clarity and color stability.
